•

. Choose from built-in physics interfaces available to the Physics Builder. Select the main resource (COMSOL product) from the list. For each resource, choose an interface from the list. Only the currently published interfaces are available.

•

. Lets you choose among the components listed in an imported builder file under the External Resources branch. Choose the file from the list. The list contains all components found in the branch of the selected file.
