Definitions Report Nodes
Right-click report section nodes to select items from the Model Contents submenu or, on Windows only, click the Model Contents menu button in the Report ribbon and select gallery items to add the nodes described in this section. These report components provide information about nodes added to the model under the Definitions and the Global Definitions nodes (for parameters, variables, and functions).
Go to Common Results Node Settings for links to information about this section: Node Properties.

Use the Function report node () to add a function image and the function’s settings to the report. Under Referenced Function, select a Function from the list. Select or clear the Include image and Include settings check boxes as needed.
Infinite Element Domain
Use the Infinite Element Domain report node () to include the selection and settings for an infinite element domain if it is present in the model. From the Source list, select the Infinite Element Domain node to report. Select the Include selection image check box to include an image of the referenced node’s selection. Select the Include settings check box to include nondefault infinite element settings.
Load and Constraint Groups
Use the Load and Constraint Groups report node () to include information about load and constraint groups in the model.
Mass Properties
Use the Mass Properties report node () to include the settings and a selection image for a Mass Properties node. Select the Mass Properties node from the list. Select the Include selection image check box to include an image of the referenced node’s selection. Select the Include settings check box to include nondefault settings in the report. The report will include any Mass Contributions subnodes using the settings for the parent Mass Properties node.
Matrix Variable
Use the Matrix Variable report node () to include the settings and a selection image for a matrix variable node. Select the Matrix Variable node from the list. Select the Include selection image check box to include an image of the referenced node’s selection. Select the Include settings check box to include nondefault settings in the report. The report will include any Mass Contributions subnodes using the settings for the parent Mass Properties node.
Mesh Part
Use the Mesh Part report node () to include the settings and an image for a mesh part.
Select a Mesh Part from the list. Select or clear the Include image and Include statistics check boxes as needed.
In the Features table, all the mesh part’s features are listed. To add or remove settings, click in the Settings column to cycle between inclusion and exclusion of a feature’s settings. The Clear Selection () and Select All () toolbar buttons apply to all rows of the Settings column at once.
Method Call
Use the Method Call report node () to include information about customized model-method inputs.
Moving Mesh
Use the Moving Mesh report node () to include the settings and a selection image for a moving mesh.
Select the node to include from the Source list. Select the Include selection image check box to include an image of the referenced node’s selection. Select the Include settings check box to include nondefault settings in the report.
Multiphysics Properties
Use the Multiphysics Properties node () to include information about Ambient Thermal Properties or Model Inputs nodes. Select the node to include from the Source list.
Pair
Use the Pair report node () to include the settings and a selection image for identity pairs and contact pairs if present in the model. Select the Pair from the list. Select the Include selection image check box to include an image of the node’s selection. Select the Include settings check box to include nondefault settings in the report. The image shows the selection for the pair and is not present if the pair has no selection.
Part
Use the Part report node (), selected from the Model Contents submenu or ribbon menu button, to add the image, units (length and angular), and statistics to the report for specific part features.
In the Referenced Part section, select a part from the Source list. Select or clear the Include image, Include units and Include statistics check boxes as needed.
In the Features table, all the features used in the part’s geometry sequence are listed. Click in a feature’s table cell in the Settings column to toggle between including it in and excluding it from the report. The Clear Selection () and Select All () toolbar buttons apply to all rows of the Settings column at once. For loaded parts, the features are not shown in the COMSOL Desktop, and reporting on their settings is therefore disabled by default.
Participation Factors
Use the Participation Factors report node () to include the properties of a participation factors node in the model.
Perfectly Matched Layer
Use the Perfectly Matched Layer report node () to include the selection and settings for a perfectly matched layer (PML) if it is present in the model. From the Source list, select the Perfectly Matched Layer node to report. Select the Include selection image check box to include an image of the referenced node’s selection. Select the Include settings check box to include nondefault PML settings.
Probe
Use the Probe report node () to include the settings and a selection image for a Probe if it is included in the model. Select the Probe from the list. Select the Include selection image check box as needed. The image shows the selection for the probe and is not present if the probe has no selection. Select the Include settings check box to include nondefault probe settings.
Reduced Model
Use the Reduced Model report node () to include information about any reduced models defined in the model.
Response Spectrum
Use the Response Spectrum report node () to include the properties of a response spectrum node in the model.
Note: The Response spectrum feature requires the Structural Mechanics Module.
Selection
Use the Selection report node () to include the settings and a selection image for selections. Choose the Selection from the list. Select the Include selection image check box as needed. The image is not present if the selection is empty. Select the Include settings check box to include nondefault settings.
Thermodynamics
Use the Thermodynamics report node () to include information about any thermodynamics property packages present in the model.
Note: The Thermodynamics functionality requires the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module.
Variables
Use the Variables report node () to include global or local variable definitions. Select a Variables node from the Source list and, optionally, modify the Include column in the table to exclude individual variables from the report as desired. The Clear Selection () and Select All () toolbar buttons apply to all rows of the Include column at once.
