The LiveLink Add-In and the COMSOL Multiphysics Tab
When you install LiveLink™ for SOLIDWORKS® an add-in is registered with SOLIDWORKS® during the install process.
You can also install and register the LiveLink add-in by installing the COMSOL Client, available for download from www.comsol.com. Such an installation enables the functionality for preparing designs for synchronization, saving files for offline synchronization, and running simulation apps that synchronize geometry.
In the user interface of the CAD software, the add-in enables the COMSOL Multiphysics tab, which contains the functionality to configure the CAD design for synchronization:
•
The COMSOL Parameter Selection Window, where you can select parameters in SOLIDWORKS® to control from the simulation
•
The COMSOL Selections Window, which you can use to define selections on the geometry in SOLIDWORKS®
•
The COMSOL Synchronize Offline Window, where you can save synchronization files from SOLIDWORKS®.
