Comsol structural mechanics manual

Manual tuning of the Contact Pair condition. Solution Number: Applies to: Structural Mechanics Module Versions: All versions. In COMSOL b, the contact pair conditions were changed to improve manual tuning of the augmented Lagrangian contact formulation. For users of the Structural Mechanics Module, COMSOL Multiphysics ® version brings contact modeling to shells and membranes, plasticity, creep, viscoplasticity and viscoelasticity availability for shells, and a physics interface for the mechanical analysis of pipes. Browse these structural mechanics features and more below. The Structural Mechanics Module is an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics ® platform that brings you modeling tools and functionality tailored for analyzing mechanical behavior of solid structures. Application areas include mechanical engineering, civil engineering, geomechanics, biomechanics, and MEMS devices.

The Structural Mechanics Module enables you to model large deformation with geometric nonlinearity and follower loads. Loads can be distributed and may also depend on other physics, such as electromagnetic or fluid flow forces. Mechanical contact is of course available and is multiphysics enabled. Learn how to use COMSOL Multiphysics and the Structural Mechanics Module by conducting a static analysis of a mechanical structure. This step-by-step instructional video will guide you through the modeling workflow, with an emphasis on Structural Mechanics modeling.
