Printing the equations list

Hi all,

Is there a way, in Comsol 4.1 to copy paste the equation list (the one you get after enabling the option 'Show Equation View')?

I am working on the hyperelastic model, and I wanted to read the different equations implemented in Comsol. But the view is really user-UNfriendly, and I am fed up to scroll for hours. So I wanted to print them.

Any solution?

Hi

Unfortunately not to my knowledge.
I would really have appreciated to be at least able to sort them by name, and to copy one name into the clipboard by a double click or a right click, as this is the best place to catch the desired variable when digging deeper into the physics.

I assume the reason is that COMSOL does not want everyone "just" to copy and remake the modules, as these equations are the main drivers for the physics behind. The nice thing is that they are made visible, and you can edit and adapt them, which is not the case for other FEM software I know. So it's easy to update our physics this way.

If there had been less "hackers" out here, I suppose quite some software would be different ;)

Good luck

Well Ivar, you are quite right.

It's true, that only a 'copy/paste' option would have been great. It's sad, because I had to write down several equations with comsol names ... which is not the quickest way to do progress ;-D

I hope there would be some new feature in the coming versions (I will submit it straight away to the support).

Thanks again for your time.

I believe the new report generator in version 4.2 will do what you want.

Unfortunately, 4.2a remains the same for this issue.

What about 'print screen' and pasting the equation as image?

This is possible using an AutoHotkey script I posted here: evgeni.org/oldfish/Top_nine_hints_for_working_with_Comsol#Equation_View

Ivar, I'll have to disagree — making some text non-editable or non-sortable does not prevent "hackers" from accessing it, it only prevents users like me and you, whose Comsol experience would be slightly enriched if they could. It's simply the default behaviour of the API that Comsol user interface has been implemented with, and I'm sure that eventually (and with people continuing to ask for new features) we may see these nice-to-haves being implemented.
