COMSOL Server™ Updates

For all COMSOL Server™ users, version 5.6 brings a better experience using custom background colors, an application usage log, and themes for apps. Read more about these features below.

The Transmission Line Calculator app is included in the Application Libraries of COMSOL Server™. The app uses a custom background color that fills the entire screen in the web browser.

Application Usage Log

A log of all completed application sessions can be found under Administration > Application Usage, allowing administrators to better track the usage of specific apps. The information can be exported to a text file or to a spreadsheet.
