Adding a New Model
You can add a new model to a repository in the Model Manager server database by uploading an MPH file via the web interface. Any MPH file saved in COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.3 or later may be uploaded in this way.
A Model Manager server preserves the format of the MPH file as originally saved in COMSOL Multiphysics when uploading the MPH file via the web interface. The same is also true when downloading a model version as an MPH file. This enables you to add models saved in older versions of COMSOL Multiphysics to a repository in the Model Manager server database so that these models may also be opened in those older COMSOL Multiphysics versions in the future.
While MPH files saved in COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.2a or older cannot be stored in a repository, they can be uploaded as attached files on an asset. Such file attachments, however, cannot be opened directly from the database in COMSOL Multiphysics.
To add a new model from an MPH file:
1
Click Add in the top navigation bar and select Model. This starts a two-page wizard for adding a new model.
2
On the first page of the wizard, under Upload Model, either drag and drop an MPH file to the dotted rectangular area or click the text Click here to upload to browse for an MPH file on your computer.
3
On the second page of the wizard:
a
Select the repository and branch that the model will be added to in the location selector in the upper right corner.
b
Model Manager automatically extracts the title, description, and filename from the uploaded MPH file. Either keep these values unchanged or update with new values in the Title, Description, and Filename fields.
c
Optionally assign tags to the new model in the Tags list.
4
Click Save to open the Save Model dialog. Write an optional commit comment in the Comments field. Click Save to save the model to the database.
The Model page is automatically opened with the saved version of the new model.
Model Manager will automatically detect if the MPH file reference any model versions or file versions in the database as auxiliary data. You can view these referenced versions in the References table on the Model page for the saved model. Unlike saving from the COMSOL Desktop, however, discovery of a reference to a version that is missing from the database will not cancel the save.
