Volume Rendering within Post

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

First - Awesome job with your software Comsol! Keep up the good (and I assume very hard) work... I'm floored by your recent progress! So just wanted to say congrats :)

I have two questions:

1) Is it possible to add transparency to a single or multiple slice plot(s)?

2) Is it possible to do a volume rendering within Comsol? - It is a function I use often within other software - essentially if you picture a large rectangular domain - you can automatically divide it into say 40 equal spaced slice plots across say the X axis. You can then plot your variable (example: Temperature) on all 40 slice plots and apply a global transparency to each individual slice plot. This effectively creates a 3 Dimensional semi-transparent volume rendering. You can then automatically complete a volume rendering for each time step and export the results to a movie file to help visualize the temperature and interaction of the fluid flow throughout the entire domain. Is something like this possible to create within this new version of Comsol?

Thank you
