Solution Number: 1266 Versions: 5.4After updating my Debian installation from Debian 9 to Debian 10, COMSOL crashes on startup. This issue has been observed by some Debian users when updating from Debian 9 to Debian 10. There are two possible solutions ...
How can I see the equations COMSOL is defining? How do I implement a user-defined Multiphysics coupling?
Solution Number: 1259 Versions: All versionsI would like to define my own customized coupling between two existing physics interfaces. How can I do this? How can I find the names of the variables that I will need to use? How can I see the names of all ...
Solving electromagnetic heating models with high-frequency loads
Solution Number: 1257 Versions: All versionsI am solving a Multiphysics problem involving electromagnetics and heat transfer. The electromagnetic fields are varying at a constant frequency, and the period is very short compared to the timespan over which the ...
Reducing the amount of solution data stored in a model
Solution Number: 1255 Versions: All versionsMy models contain a lot of solution data, and I do not want my file sizes to get too large, it takes a lot of disk space. What can I do to reduce file size? Will this reduce the time it takes to solve the model? File ...
Running parametric sweeps, batch sweeps, and cluster sweeps from the command line
Solution Number: 1250 Versions: All versionsThis solution describes how to launch a parametric sweep, a batch sweep, or a cluster sweep simulation in COMSOL Multiphysics® from the command line. ## Short Summary Model methods are presented as a concept to ...
Solution number is out of range
Solution Number: 1249 Applies to: COMSOL Multiphysics Versions: 5.3aYou compute a distributed parametric sweep on a cluster. When processing the results some values are missing or you get errors such as "The solution number is invalid" or "Solution number is out of range". This issue ...
When changing the value in the Expression cell in my table, the value is not updated.
Solution Number: 1248 Versions: 5.2a, 5.3, 5.3aI am running COMSOL Multiphysics on Windows, and when trying to change the value in the Expression cell in one of my tables, the value is not updated.This issue in the Expression cells of all tables where there is auto ...
Out of Memory
Solution Number: 1243 Versions: All versionsThe error "Out of Memory" occurs. Of the available memory (RAM and virtual memory), one section, the Java heap, is reserved for Java. The rest of the memory will be available for meshing and solving. If you receive the ...
Reducing the size of your COMSOL Multiphysics file
Solution Number: 1238 Versions: All versionsI would like to reduce the size of my COMSOL Multiphysics model file. There are several things that you can do to reduce the file size: First, COMSOL saves files in either a compressed or uncompressed state. You can ...
Selecting entities by index number
Solution Number: 1232 Applies to: COMSOL Multiphysics Versions: All versionsI am following the step-by-step instructions for building an example COMSOL Application and the directions specify a numeric list of entities ( such as boundaries or domains ) to select. How do I find out which ...
