Hello Abdulrahman,

Yes, COMSOL can send you an email when a simulation is completed. This is done with an app using a method that calls one of the available email commands. See the "Introduction to Application Builder" manual, version 5.2, page 287. You can access all manuals through File > Help > Documentation.
Email server settings are controlled by the File > Preferences > Email menu.

You will find a tutorial that illustrates this in the Application Libraries for COMSOL Multiphysics: look for the Tubular Reactor app under File > Application Libraries > COMSOL Multiphysics > Applications.

Note that this is a fairly new feature. I think it was introduced at 5.2. Make sure you are using the latest version.
Best,
Jeff

Thanks for your reply. Do I have to build an app to have this feature? because in my case, I'm still not in the stage of building an app. I'm still building my model.

You can simultaneously be working on building the model and the app: you don't need to have finished your model to start building your app.
It seems to be a common misconception.

Jeff

Wow, that's a very useful tip. So the app will be automatically updated if I edited the model?

Yes, you can go back and forth between the Model Builder and the Application Builder. Try it, it works great!

Your reply has been very helpful. Thank you.

How do I set up a gmail email in COMSOL preferences. I set the following but it didnt work:

Host: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
Security connection: TLS/SS
User: example@gmail.com
Password: ******
From: example@gmail.com
Default to: example@gmail.com

I wrote the following code (I attached a screenshot for my simple application) :

EmailMessage mail = new EmailMessage();
mail.setFrom(emailFromAddress());
mail.setTo(userEmailAddress());
mail.setSubject("COMSOL notification");
mail.setBodyText("Done");
mail.send();

When I run the application builder and run it, it gives me the following error:

Failed to send email.
failed to connect, no password specified?

Why does this error show up although I set the password in the preferences?

I have the same problem with email notification.
