Execute COMSOL Ribbon buttons with VBA

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Does anyone know if there is a way to execute COMSOL ribbon buttons (for example, it 'clicks' the mesh button or it clicks plot group and selects the correct plot)? Basically, what I doing is creating VBA macro buttons that when clicked will say, do update all, click compute, and then click on the appropriate plot group. Thereby saving the user (who does not know COMSOL in any capacitance) from dealing with the ribbon.

Judging from VBA code, it should be something along the lines of (I think): ribbon.button_name.execute. Any help is appreciated

This is a very good question.

We are looking into providing such functionality, but it is currently not available. As far as I know there are no workarounds.
