Managing Simulation Projects Using Assets
A Model Manager server includes a web-based asset management system that enables users to access models and data files in Model Manager without requiring a COMSOL Multiphysics installation. From the Model Manager server web interface, users can search for versions using the Model Manager search tool, browse the model tree contents of individual versions, download versions as MPH files, and even upload MPH files to save new versions. From COMSOL Multiphysics, simulation engineers can share results from simulation runs by exporting animations, images, plots, reports, and other output files to the Model Manager server, while other engineers can upload new versions of data files via the web interface — versions which are then immediately available as input files to the simulation engineer from the COMSOL Desktop. The asset management system also enables you to version control various documents, presentations, project notes, slides, and other supplementary files and metadata related to models and data files— all while keeping everything in the same Model Manager server database.
In this section, you will learn what is included with the asset management system by default with a new Model Manager server installation. See the next section to learn how the system can be extended in various ways to suit the needs of your organization.
