Simulating a Generator in 2D
In this model, a rotor with permanent magnets and a nonlinear magnetic material rotates within a stator of the same magnetic material.
The generated voltage in windings around the stator is calculated as a function of time. COMSOL Multiphysics models the rotation with assemblies and identity pai...

Bond Wires to a Chip
Bonding wires connect an integrated circuit to the pins of the package that holds it. These wires introduce relatively large inductances that can introduce crosstalk and distort the signals.
This model calculates the lumped parameters in the form of self inductance and the mutual inductance betwe...

Planar Transformer on a PCB
A planar transformer is a transformer that is integrated onto a printed circuit board (PCB). They can either be manufactured as standalone devices, or integrated into the PCB of a module. The planar structure improves the cooling characteristics and gives the device a low profile. Therefore, the mai...

Magnetic Brake
This example studies a magnetic brake that slows down a copper disk rotating in the magnet’s air gap. The rotation induces currents, and forces along the current lines impede the disk’s motion.
COMSOL Multiphysics models the static problem of computing the induced currents, Simulink computes...

Eddy Currents
An AC coil surrounding a metal cylinder induces eddy currents in the cylinder. The driving current in the coil can be specified in two ways: either as an external current density or as equivalent surface currents. In the first case, the skin effect can be studied by giving the coil a non-zero conduc...

Model of an RFID System
An RFID system consists of two main parts:
A tag or transponder with a printed circuit-board (PCB) antenna
A reader unit with a larger RF antennaThe reader antenna generates an electromagnetic field that energizes a chip (IC-circuit) inside the tag. The electromagnetic field is modulated by the ta...

Joule Heating in High-current Battery Clamps in a Circuit
This model analyzes a car battery-charger circuit where the cables and clamps are modeled using the finite element method. They experience high current that results in Joule heating that in turn affects the conductivity of their materials.
Use of the new SPICE Import interface in COMSOL Multiphy...
