Overview of the COMSOL Tab
Select the COMSOL 6.4 tab in the Excel® user interface to access LiveLink™ functionality for interacting with a COMSOL model from an Excel worksheet.
From here you can insert model definitions and results into a worksheet, you can also update model definitions with data from a worksheet, and compute the solution. A separate Graphics window provides a view of the geometry, the mesh, or the solution, and you can insert screenshots into the worksheet. From the COMSOL tab you can also easily convert material data stored in Excel worksheets to material data stored in a COMSOL material library for easy access from models. The functionality provided by the COMSOL tab is also available using Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) as specific commands that can be run in a VBA script for automation.
The tools on the COMSOL tab are organized into the following groups:
•
Main, where you can open models, and break the link between the worksheet and a model.
•
Graphics, where you can view the geometry, mesh, and results plots, and insert screenshots into worksheets.
•
Definitions, where you can retrieve and update model definitions.
•
Study, where you can compute and update a solution, and access the settings for parametric sweeps.
•
Numerical Results, where you can evaluate and extract data to the worksheet.
•
Report, where you can generate a report for the model.
•
Material Export, where you can create a material library.
•
Help, where you can access the documentation.
