A special case is the Convergence Plot window, an automatically generated Plot window that displays a graphical indication of the convergence of the solution process while a model is running.

Several Plot windows can be used to show multiple results simultaneously. In addition to the Graphics window, Plot windows are used for visualizing results. Plot Windows These are the windows for graphical output.
The picture below shows the Settings window for the Geometry node. Settings Window This is the main window for entering all of the specifications of the model including the dimensions of the geometry, properties of the materials, boundary conditions and initial conditions, and any other information that the solver will 8ĩ need to carry out the simulation. Click the Application Builder button to switch from the Model Builder to the Application Builder and start building an application based on your model. The ribbon is only available in the Windows version of the COMSOL Desktop environment and is replaced by menus and toolbars in the OS X and Linux versions. Ribbon The ribbon at the top of the desktop gives access to commands used to complete most modeling tasks. You can customize its content from the Customize Quick Access Toolbar list. (See page 25 for an example of a more developed desktop.) Among the available windows and user interface components are the following: Quick Access Toolbar The Quick Access Toolbar gives access to functionality such as Open, Save, Undo, Redo, Copy, Paste, and Delete. As you build your model, additional windows and widgets will be added. Any changes you make to the layout will be saved when you close the session and available again the next time you open COMSOL Multiphysics. The windows can be resized, moved, docked, and detached. You can customize the desktop to your own needs. COMSOL Desktop provides a complete and integrated environment for physics modeling and simulation as well as application design, providing you with the tools necessary to build a user-friendly interface for your models. 7Ĩ The screenshot on the previous pages is what you will see when you first start modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics. INFORMATION WINDOWS The Information windows will display vital model information during the simulation, such as the solution time, solution progress, mesh statistics, solver logs, and, when available, results tables. Operations include rotating, panning, zooming, and selecting. 5ħ GRAPHICS WINDOW TOOLBAR GRAPHICS WINDOW The Graphics window presents interactive graphics for the Geometry, Mesh, and Results nodes.
