The versions listed in the References window for a model version correspond to the subset of entries in the Auxiliary Data window whose Location column point to the database. These entries can either be data files used as input or output, or geometry parts used as input.

The database protects the referential integrity between item versions: a file version that is referenced by a model version, for example, cannot be permanently deleted, as long as both versions are saved in the same database.

If you export output from the model opened in the COMSOL Desktop directly to a database, the resulting saved file version will not be referenced in the database until you also save a new version of the model in that database. See also Loading and Saving Auxiliary Data Files Stored in Databases.

If you update a file from the Model Manager workspace — for example via the Settings window — the saved file version will not be referenced by any model version, even if the previous file version was referenced. To see the references for the older file version, open The Versions Window for the file item, select the older version, and click the References button (

If you open the References window for a file version, you are likely to discover that it is referenced by a whole sequence of model versions. For a file version with reference type Output file, the oldest model version in that sequence is likely the best candidate for reproducing the output.
