The Graphics window (
Figure 6-2) is a graphical view of the geometry, mesh, and results of the model. The window has useful tools for changing the view and selecting multiple entities — geometry objects when creating the geometry as well as domains, boundaries, edges, and points to define the physics features or to select geometric entities for fine-tuning the mesh or evaluating quantities in a certain part of the model, for example.
By default, the Graphics window includes the COMSOL logo in the upper-right corner of the canvas. You can remove the logo or use a custom logo instead. To do so, open the Preferences dialog box and select the
Graphics page. To remove the logo, clear the
Show logo on canvas check box. To use a custom logo, add the image file for the logo in the
Logo file field (click
Browse to locate the logo file on the file system). Leave the
Logo file field empty to return to the COMSOL logo. The logo is updated when you click
OK and close the
Preferences dialog box.
For the graphics rendering, COMSOL uses OpenGL® rendering by default. It is also possible to use software rendering. Software rendering may be necessary in some cases, such as running COMSOL via a remote connection. You can change the type of rendering from the
Rendering list on the
Graphics page in the
Preferences dialog box.
