Adding and Creating Result Templates
Open the Result Templates window to add plot groups, evaluation groups, and derived values that are predefined by the physics interfaces in the model but not added directly when you compute the solution. You can open the Result Templates window () from the Results section in the Home toolbar, the Definitions section in the Results toolbar, and from the Windows menu. Click the button again in a toolbar to close the Result Templates window.
In the Result Templates window, the available result templates are organized in a tree structure. Select the result templates that you want to add. Then right-click and choose Add Result Template, or click the Add Result Template button at the top of the window. You can also type a filter text in the text field above the plot tree to only show result templates that match the filter text. Click Reload to reload the content of the Result Templates window.
The tree of predefined result templates appears when you have computed the solution, and its content depends on the physics interfaces and studies used in the model. If the physics interfaces in the model do not create any predefined result templates, the tree is empty.
Notes like the following contain information about predefined result templates as well as special results variables and other results considerations for many physics interfaces:
User-Defined Result Templates
You can add your own favorite plot groups as well as evaluation groups and derived values to the Result Templates window for reuse in other models. When you have made a plot that you would like to reuse, select Add as Result Template () in the context menu for many result nodes. It is available for plot group nodes, Evaluation Group nodes and nodes under Derived Values. You can also choose Add as Result Template from group nodes, if you have added plots under a group node, for example. The plot then shows up in the Result Templates window under User-Defined (), using the same group structure, if applicable. You can sort the result templates using the Move Up and Move Down options on the user-defined result templates’ context menus. You can also choose Remove from Result Templates to remove that plot or result evaluation from the result templates. When adding a result template to the model tree, the COMSOL software tries to find the same type of solution dataset that was used when the result template was created. For example, a plot made using a time-dependent solution tries to use a time-dependent solution dataset if there is one in the model. The software also tries to find a correct expression even if the physics in the model has another scope or other dependent variable names than the one in the original model.
