Parameterized I-Beam
This example shows how to parameterize a CAD model by deforming the corresponding finite element mesh.
The method enables geometry parameterization of non-parameterized CAD models such as:
- models created by the built-in COMSOL CAD tools
- imported neutral CAD files such as .igs...

Blood Vessel
This model refers to a portion of the vascular system of a young child - the upper part of the aorta artery. The blood vessels are embedded in a biological tissue (the cardiac muscle) and, during the flow of blood, pressure is applied to the internal surfaces producing deformation of the vessel wall...

Hyperelastic Seal
Loads that depend on the deformation are often termed follower loads. The most common case is a pressure directed along the normal to a surface which deforms. In general, both the direction of the load and the area of the loaded surface will change.
This model studies the force-deflection relati...

Fluid-Structure Interaction in Aluminum Extrusion
In massive forming processes like rolling or extrusion, metal alloys are deformed in a hot solid state with material flowing under ideally plastic conditions. Such processes can be simulated effectively using computational fluid dynamics, where the material is considered as a fluid with a very high...

Viscoplastic Creep in Solder Joints
This example studies viscoplastic creep in solder joints under thermal loading using the Anand viscoplasticity model, which is suitable for large, isotropic, viscoplastic deformations in combination with small elastic deformations.
The model geometry includes two electronic components (chips) mou...

Elasto-plastic and Fatigue Analyses of a Cylinder with Hole
A load-carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs.
Due to localized yielding, you can use two methods to obtain the stress and strain distributions for the fatigue law. The first method is an elasto-plastic a...

Heating Circuit
Small-sized heating circuits are used in many applications. For example, in different manufacturing processes, heating circuits are used to heat reactive fluids.
This is a stationary model of a heating circuit, consisting of a thin electrically resistive layer deposited on a quartz glass plate....

Nonlinear Magnetostrictive Transducer
Magnetostrictive transduction is used in sonars, acoustic devices, active vibration and position control and fuel injection systems.
The transducer has a steel housing enclosing a drive coil. A magnetostrictive material is placed in the core which works as an actuator when a magnetic field i...

Structural and Fatigue Analyses of a Shaft with a Fillet
This benchmark model shows how to perform a high-cycle fatigue analysis for nonproportional loading using critical planes.
Two time-dependent loads are applied to the small end of a shaft: a transverse force, causing bending, and a twisting moment.
In this model, a shaft with a fillet is expos...
