Hoping somebody could help me.
I am looking for a method to colour domains created in COMSOL? For instance, a Si/Ti/SU-8/Au stack, with each layer coloured differently?
Exporting as a picture then attempting to add colour in MS Paint proves problematic due to shadowing in the 3D model.
Is there any simple software to use where I can export the COMSOL geometry (say as .dxf) and then import to said software to add colour?
Kind regards,
Marie
Dear Marie,
Version 5.4 has a new feature to do what you are asking :). If you are in a previous version there are different indirect ways to do that in COMSOL. First one might be to change the options in COMSOL to show material colors. Then you can modify in the materials node how each material looks (main color, reflections, shadows etc., is a t the bottom of the material properties).
If you have the same material applied into different layers but you want different colors in the layers, then you can go to the results node. There you can create a Volume/Surface plot and add a volume/surface with a selection. The selection can be any of your layers/bodies. There rather tan plot any magnitude put a 1 in the field. That creates an homogeneous plot in the selected domain/face. Then you can select "uniform" in the color scheme and select the color you need. Repeat this for as many layers as you need in your model :).
Kind regards,
Julian

Dear J. Anaya
Thank you very much for your help.
I will try and get back to you.
Best regards,
Marie.
Great answer from J. Anaya
Just ensure that you have the checkbox for "Show material color and texture" enabled under the following:
