Even when the Only plot when requested check box is selected, some changed style settings, such as the color table, are updated when you click a plot node, for example. Changes to style settings do not require that the COMSOL Multiphysics software reevaluates the plot data.

Select the Disable for new models check box to always disable the automatic update of plots for new models that you create (corresponds to selecting the Only plot when requested check box).
|
•
|
Select the Disable for models loaded from file (override saved) check box to always disable the automatic update of plots for models that you open from file, such as models in the Application Libraries. The automatic update of plots is then disabled initially, regardless of the setting in the model.

Configurations. Configurations define multiple or single solutions; that is, multiple or a single time, eigenvalue, or parameter value that you can use in subsequent plots, data evaluations, and data export.

|
Datasets. Datasets provide the source of data for plotting, for example, by indicating a solution and geometry or by transforming another dataset (for combining solutions or evaluating data along a cut line, for example).

Derived Values, Evaluation Groups, and Tables. Derived values define the evaluation of integrals, maximum and minimum values, values of variables in points, and values of global variables. The evaluation results are stored in Table nodes under Tables and displayed in the Table window.

Plot Groups and Plots. A plot group is a collection of plots to display simultaneously in the Graphics window. The plot groups include 1D plots (graphs), 2D plots (surface plots, for example), and 3D plots (volume plots, for example) with many different plot types and options. You can enable or disable plots in a plot group to determine the most applicable final image for your model or project. The physics interfaces create suitable default plots grouped in descriptive plot groups. Use a combination of datasets and plot groups to create cross-section plots.

Export (see Exporting Data and Images): Export data, images, and animations from plot groups to files or use a player to visualize dynamic data.

Reports and Presentations. Create reports as HTML and Microsoft® Word documents that contain settings, selections, comments, plots, and other information about the model for easy viewing.

To display the Views node under Results (), click the Show More Options button () and select Views in the Show More Options dialog box. This is useful, for example, when 2D axisymmetric revolved plots or 2D cut plane plots for 3D models are created. For details, see User-Defined Views.
