Overview of the Application Builder
The Application Builder and the Application Tree
The Application Builder window on the COMSOL Desktop contains the application tree. This tree displays nodes from the Application Builder’s data structure and nodes from the embedded model. All nodes from the embedded model behave exactly like the nodes in the model tree when working with the Model Builder. The application tree also includes a root node of the application and the following branches under the root node:
•
A Compiler node () for creating standalone executable simulation applications if added from the Home ribbon (requires COMSOL Compiler™). See Compiling Applications.
•
An Add-in Definitions node () can be added for creating add-ins. See Creating Add-ins.
•
The Inputs Branch
•
Themes
•
The Main Window Branch
•
The Forms Branch
•
The Events Branch
•
The Declarations Branch
•
The Methods Branch
•
The Libraries Branch
The root node () in the Application Builder is similar to the root node in the Model Builder, but it also contains an Application section with settings specific to applications (see The Root Settings Windows in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual for more information).
