Analysis of a Composite Blade Using a Multiple Model Method
This example demonstrates the modeling of a sandwiched composite blade made up of carbon–epoxy, glass–vinylester, and PVC foam materials. Three different methods are used to model the sandwich composite structure: Layerwise theory, Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) theory, and a ... Read More
Modeling the Behavior of a Thermostat
This example exemplifies how to model applications using the Events Interface where a thermostat is simulated. A more detailed description of the phenomenon and the modeling process can be seen in the blog post "Implementing a Thermostat with the Events Interface". Read More
Electrical Heating in a Busbar Assembly
This tutorial model of the Joule heating effect in a busbar demonstrates how to synchronize an assembly between Creo Parametric and COMSOL, how to modify the geometry from COMSOL, and how to run a geometric parametric sweep. Read More
Postbuckling Analysis of a Hinged Cylindrical Shell
The model studied is a benchmark for a hinged cylindrical panel subjected to a point load at its center. A linear buckling analysis predicts the critical buckling load. Such an analysis will however not give any information about what happens at loads higher than the critical load. ... Read More
Polarized Circular Ports
This model of a circular waveguide demonstrates how to use ports with numerical solution of the port modes. It illustrates how to align the polarization of degenerate port modes and in particular how to model and excite the TE11 mode of circular waveguides in 3D. Read More
Transient Sound Pressure Level
For transient acoustic problems, there are different sound pressure level metrics that have been defined in the literature and in measurement standards. These metrics are important to know when comparing results from a transient acoustic simulation to measurements from a sound level ... Read More
Stacking Sequence Optimization
Composite laminates are synthetic structures and there is always a possibility to optimize the design in terms of the number of layers, the material of each layer, the thickness of each layer, and the stacking sequence for the specified loading conditions. Designers need to know how safe ... Read More
Capacitance Matrix of Two Spheres
This model compares the numerical and analytical solutions for the capacitance matrix of two non-concentric spheres. It also illustrates the relation between the Maxwell capacitance matrix and the mutual capacitance matrix. Learn more about this model in the blog post "How to Calculate ... Read More
Position Optimization of Grading Rings
Extending the High Voltage Insulator model, this example shows how to set up an Optimization Study to determine the optimum position of the grading rings to obtain the highest flashover voltage. Read More
Solidly Mounted Resonator 2D
A solidly-mounted resonator (SMR) is a piezoelectric MEMS resonator formed on top of an acoustic mirror stack deposited on a thick substrate. This tutorial shows how to simulate an SMR in 2D. In this example, the eigenmodes were computed and the frequency response from 500 to 1200 MHz ... Read More
