Open the Application Library Update window by clicking
Update COMSOL Application Libraries in the
Application Libraries window or by going to the
File>Help menu (Windows users) or the
Help menu (macOS and Linux users) and choosing
Update COMSOL Application Libraries (
).
When the Application Library Update window opens, choose if you want to download files containing solutions (
Solved) or more compact versions of the models and applications (
Compact), then click
Find Applications to check if all the models and applications you have are up to date or if there are any updated or new ones. If the message
Your Application Libraries are up to date displays, no updated or new models or applications are available.
Click the Download button to download the selected models and applications. The download time depends on the size of the files, which is listed for each file, and the bandwidth of the internet connection.
The Destinations list provides two options for specifying which application, documentation, and part directories are synchronized with the COMSOL Multiphysics server when you launch an Application Library Update or Part Library Update (see the next section) request:
By default, the COMSOL Application Libraries, COMSOL Part Libraries, and documentation root directories are located directly under the COMSOL installation root directory, in applications/,
parts/, and
doc/, respectively. This typically implies that special permissions are required for saving downloaded files, and it can therefore be beneficial to move or copy the directories to a different location. The settings referred to in this section are provided to let you customize Application Library Update to the IT environment of your organization.
