Copying, Pasting, and Duplicating Nodes
It is possible to copy and paste many of the nodes in the Model Builder to create additional nodes with identical settings or to paste it into another model. That is, you can paste the node into a model in a new COMSOL Desktop session. Some nodes can also be duplicated underneath the original node. You can also move, copy, and duplicate nodes using “drag-and-drop” of nodes in the Model Builder.
Duplicate () is a convenient way to copy and paste in one step. In other words, it combines the Copy and Paste functions. When nodes are duplicated, the COMSOL Multiphysics software adds identical nodes underneath the original nodes on the same branch. You can duplicate most but not all nodes.
Nodes that can be copied (and duplicated) include the following:
Geometry sequences, for which there are two ways to copy and paste geometry objects. Using the Transforms>Copy operation (that keeps the nodes linked to one another), or a standard copy and paste (see Copying and Pasting Geometry Objects). It is also possible to copy, paste, and duplicate nodes corresponding to operation features, such as the Union node.
How to Copy, Paste, or Duplicate Nodes
On the Quick Access Toolbar (Windows users) or from the main Edit menu (macOS and Linux users), click Copy (), Paste (), or Duplicate ().
Right-click a node and select Copy, Paste, or Duplicate.
To paste a node, and after selecting Copy, click the parent node and right-click to select Paste Heat Flux to paste a copied node (a Heat Flux node in this case) to the parent node’s branch.
