Channel Beam
Application ID: 8520
In this model, you build and solve a simple 3D beam model using the 3D Beam interface. This model calculates the deformation, section forces, and stresses in a cantilever beam, and compares the results with analytical solutions. The first few natural frequencies are also computed.
The purpose of the example is twofold: It is a verification of the functionality of the beam element in COMSOL Multiphysics, and it explains in detail how to give input data and interpret results for a nontrivial cross section.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
Structural Mechanics Modulehowever, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
