Copying and Pasting Physics Builder Nodes
Using copy and paste operations, you can copy, paste, and duplicate Physics Builder nodes within a session and also, via the system clipboard, between Physics Builder sessions. To copy a Physics Builder node, right-click it and choose Copy (). To paste a node, right-click the parent node under which you want to add it, and choose, for example, Paste Domain Condition (). You can also right-click a Physics Builder node and choose Duplicate () to duplicate it (or press Ctrl+Shift+D).
There are some rules that control how the COMSOL Multiphysics software deals with conflicts and unresolved references when pasting nodes. These rules applies in the given order:
1
If the reference points to an object that is also among the copied objects, use that object as reference.
2
If the reference points to an object that exists but is not among the copied objects, use that object as target with a notification in the Messages from Paste dialog. No notification is added when pasting to the same file and the reference target is the same as in the original node.
3
If there is no reference in the original but a default reference is used in the target, keep it but add a notification in the Messages from Paste dialog.
4
If there was a valid reference in the original but no suitable reference could be found in the target, the default reference (either undefined or first available node) is used and a notification is added to the Messages from Paste dialog. For arrays of references, the invalid reference is removed from the array.
5
If the copied node links to an External Resource node, the external resource will automatically be included among the copied objects and pasted to the target if there is not already an external resource present referring to the same file.
