Hey Guys,

I have a 3D model of a solar powered cavity reactor. It was made in comsol 4.2. The model is working well but there is one small drawback. I run a number of parametric sweeps with the model which make no change to the geometry. For every paramater calculation the model appears to be re-calculating the view-factors. This is adding a lot of time to the calculations.

Is there any way to tell comsol to store these viewfactors and use the same ones for every calculation? The mesh is always the same.

Thanks for any help
Brendan
