A ribbon tab, ribbon group, or modal ribbon tab, are available in the Windows version. See Figure 2-1 for an example of the Windows Home toolbar.
|
  |
The Model Toolbar and Contextual Toolbar are available in the cross-platform version, primarily for macOS and Linux users. See Figure 2-12 for an example of these toolbars.

If you are reading the documentation as a PDF file on your computer, the blue links do not work to open an application or content referenced in a different guide. However, if you are using the Help system in COMSOL Multiphysics, these links work to open other modules, application examples, and documentation sets.
