Hi

have you tried int eh v4.1, "file reset model" ?

Good luck

Alright,

didn't really see the menu item.. It works fine! Thanks a lot!

Hi G. Schiavone,

Can you please tell from where I can get some java examples.

I want to creat a random distribution of my geometry feature (rectange) within a certain area(bigger rectangle). I make the rectangle in COMSOL GUI and then save model as .java file ... open it in Java editor and now I want to put random function and loops so that I can get randomly placed rectangles within a certain area (bigger rectangle)

In other words you can say that I want to make randomly placed rectangles within a bigger rectangle....

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure I've well understood the question but I get what you're trying to do.
If you want Java code examples google is your friend. If you want COMSOL Java code samples.... just open any model and export it as Java and you'll have the code which you can read>understand>edit as you like.

Hope this was helpful..

Thanks a lot. Yes I need COMSOL JAVA code samples. However, I do not find any model that used loops. So is it possible to script loops in COMSOL JAVA scripting?

Thanks again

Yes I think it is possible. I've done it in the past with version 3.5, but using matlab code.
I used a while loop to redraw the geometry according to some values computed in the solution. So the cycle was: draw, compute, extract values -> modify geometry accordingly and all over again..
Not sure how Java works for what you want to do, but I don't think it'll take too much fiddling about to implement a simple loop cycle.

Keep experimenting!

I have a question regarding your posts. I know you can export COMSOL files as java files and they are relatively to understand but how do you run COMSOL java files externally from Eclipse for example? The API reference guide is unclear to a novice such as myself. Any help would be much appreciated. I do not have a background in java or eclipse.

Thanks

In eclipse you have to start a new project. Then import the Library from Plugin folder of comsol, as stated in API guide. Then in the "src" folder copy your exported java file (from comsol gui) and then you just need to type in two statements one in the beginning of the code to connect to the local host (as explained in API) and one in the end of code to disconnect.

After doing above all. Run Comsol server, you should find it some where in start menu. After the server is running, click the play button to run the program in Eclipse.

I hope this helps ..... questions are welcome

And what is expected to happen when you do that (i.e. when you run a java model from eclipse)?

I have tried it with the feeder clamp model and I only see messages been displayed in the Comsol server window saying that a client has connected/disconnected, but nothing more happens... I am using Comsol version 4.2.

Do you know what is the expected result of executing a Java model externally from Eclipse? Thank you very much for your help.

I've had the same problem regarding old information in the java file. Whist it results in very large java files if you alter a model several times, it could be useful if you want to return to an old version of a model.

Does COMSOL allow you to restore a previous version of a model like this, given that all the information is contained in the java file?
