Modeling with the Embedded COMSOL® Modeling Environment
Overview of the Embedded Environment
LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® enables modeling inside SOLIDWORKS® by embedding the COMSOL Desktop® into the SOLIDWORKS® user interface.
Figure 2-1: Components of the COMSOL modeling environment embedded into the SOLIDWORKS user interface.
The embedded modeling environment contains the same components as the COMSOL Desktop in the following arrangement:
•
The Model Builder, Application Libraries, Model Wizard, Material Library, and Settings windows appear as a tabs in the left panel of the SOLIDWORKS® window.
•
The Log, Progress, Messages and Results windows appear as tabs in the bottom panel of the SOLIDWORKS® window.
•
COMSOL toolbar buttons are placed on the COMSOL Multiphysics tab in the SOLIDWORKS® CommandManager.
