Exporting Data and Images

After a model is completed, you can add various components to the branch

and then generate outputs (animations, data, images, or export), or export the information to your computer as images, movies, or data files for use in external documents or for other purposes. In the , under the node, right-click and select an option as listed in Table 21-2.

Table 21-2: Export Types.
Link to Section	Description
Animation	To define and export a movie or series of images based on a plot group. Play the animation in a web browser or use it in presentations or on a website.
Player	To define and play a movie in the COMSOL Desktop. See Animation.
Data	Exports numerical data to file. Data export operates directly on datasets. It is also possible to export mesh data.
Mesh (Export)	To export a mesh defined by a dataset to file.
Table (Export)	To export the contents of a table to file.
Image	To export images to a file or (on Windows) to the clipboard or to PowerPoint and Word.
Plot	To export a plot from a 1D Plot Group, 2D Plot Group, or 3D Plot Group.
Touchstone	To export data for port networks in the Touchstone format. This export format requires the AC/DC Module, MEMS Module, or RF Module.

Right-click the node and select (

) to export data from all export nodes added under .


	Depending on the physics interface included in the model, not all export types in the table above may be available. To see all export types, select the All Export Types check box in the Show More Options dialog box.
