COMSOL embedded in solidworks

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam


HI,

recently, my Solidworks2012 was installed. COMSOL has a livelink with it.

a good feature is could embedded COMSOL in the solidworks interface.

for my situation is, COMSOL could import 3D model from solidworks, but cannot embeded it inside solidworks.

the instruciton shows open the COMSOL tab in the commond manager, but I didn't see it at all.

the livelink add-in was actived in solidworks.

is there anyone could help me ?
thanks

Hi

for me I embed the Solidworks access into COMSOL and not the inverse, particuarly useful when you define parametric geometries with variables/equations in solidworks, and drive the variables from COMSOL (but from the COMSOL gui)

Good luck

well, thanks for the reply Ivar,

Here is one quote from the COMSOL help doc
"LiveLink for SolidWorks enables modeling inside SolidWorks by embedding the COMSOL Desktop into the SolidWorks user interface."
and also it gives a screenshot of it, it look fine.
could please check it in the PDF help file?
LiveLink™ for SolidWorks® > Functionality > Modeling with the Embedded COMSOL Modeling Environment

thanks and Happy New year!

I can not ssee the COMSOL 4.2a tab inside SW2012 even with update2. Have some thing wrong, a SW update etc? What is happens?

Go to Add-ins in your tools bar, you will find a Tick " comsol" in it. Then comsol will appear.
