View source for Comsol/Interactive

You can start the graphical user interface (GUI) of COMSOL on one of the login nodes of Euler. This can be useful to change your COMSOL preferences or to prepare a model or check the result of a COMSOL job. In order to start the GUI of COMSOL on a login node, you first need to establish an SSH connection with [[Accessing_the_clusters#X11|X11 forwarding]] enabled.

 ssh -Y username@''hostname''

With '''username''' being your [[NETHZ]] username. Afterwards, you can load one of the COMSOL modules

 module load comsol/5.2

and finally start the GUI with the <tt>comsol</tt> command.

 comsol -np 1

If the COMSOL GUI runs slow through X11, then please have a look at the troubleshooting section of this wiki page.
