Connecting the COMSOL Desktop® to a COMSOL Multiphysics Server
A COMSOL Multiphysics server allows multiple clients connection, for example, from within Excel and from a COMSOL Desktop. Follow the steps below to manually connect a COMSOL Desktop to the COMSOL Multiphysics server that you are connected to from within Excel®:
1
Start Excel and load a model in Excel as indicated in Opening a Model MPH File.
2
In the COMSOL Desktop, from File menu (Windows users) or from the Options menu (Mac and Linux users), select Client Server > Connect to Server ().
You can now access the same application from both Excel and the COMSOL Desktop. Every change operated from Excel can be visualized from the COMSOL Desktop once the model is updated.
If you have already open an application in Excel and you want to open it also in the COMSOL Desktop, select COMSOL Multiphysics Server > Import Application from Server () from the File menu (Windows users) or from the Options menu (Mac and Linux users). In the Import Application from Server window select the model to import.
If you want to open an application loaded in the COMSOL server in Excel, click the arrow beside the Connect to Server button and select Import Application from Server ().
