A COMSOL® runnable application is a COMSOL Multiphysics
® MPH file that, in addition to the model part, includes a custom user interface that you can run as a separate application or in a web client. For simulations with geometry that comes from a PTC Creo Parametric™ model, applications can also use the LiveLink™ interface for PTC Creo Parametric™.
To create such applications, use the Application Builder, which is included in the Windows® version of COMSOL Multiphysics. For more information on how to build applications, refer to the book
Introduction to Application Builder.
With a COMSOL Server™ license together with a license for LiveLink™
for PTC Creo Parametric™, a COMSOL application that uses the LiveLink interface can be run by connecting to a COMSOL Server with an easy-to-install COMSOL Client, available for download from
www.comsol.com. The software components installed with the COMSOL Client allow you to connect to a COMSOL Server right from the user interface of PTC Creo Parametric™, and to browse and launch apps using the COMSOL Server interface. COMSOL Server or COMSOL Client does not include the Application Builder, Physics Builder, and Model Builder tools that come with the COMSOL Desktop
® environment, and that are required for building applications.
