Hi
I run comsol on a linux worstation and on a macbookpro. the latest model with fastest i7 proc available, ssd and 8MB ram with all software up to date as time of writting including java machine.
I observe on Mac only and NOt on my linux workstation systematic "slowness" of the gui compared to my linux workstation but MOST importantly comsol gui crash repeatedly and frequentl, every hour or so always while I try to move from one section to the building model to another one.
In my experience, this is platform specific and limited to mac.
so my question to you guys:
using comsol on mac do you have similar experience or not?
if I am the only one it might be a prob;em on my computer [ iI reinstalled everything tough and the problem remain the same and with comsol exclusively....
Hope I will get some feedback on this one ..
Thanks,
JF

I can confirm this. The interface is quite sluggish and frequently shows the turning color-wheel to the point that I went back to linux for it. In linux it is quite smooth. I assume it is because of prepackaged Java of Mac, but I hope there is a work around.

I "like " to hear that and yes I found comsol on mac not practically usable too.
I must say that before posting here, I asked this question to comsol support a while ago and get a disappointing answer.
"they were not having any problem on any of their mac"
I would appreciate if comsol was MUCH more upfront about the existing bugs and problems as they are.
In the end it i snot like we are going to move to another platform for we are using comsol for a reason so in a business sense we are mostly a "captive group"
but it is VERY irritating to waste time { as a professional I bill my time so wasted time is wasted money for me] that you realize could have been saved if you had been given the proper information [ even whe it is bad news
[ On a technical side, I agree with you that it is probable that it is java related]
