System and method for creating user interfaces in a multiphysics modeling system

摘要

Systems and methods for generating a physics interface data structure via a graphical user interface include processing user inputs received via one or more user input devices. The inputs correspond to one or more variables, one or more physics properties, one or more physics features, one or more feature equations for physics features, one or more feature equations for physics properties, one or more solver settings, and one or more output result features. The user inputs are received via selection menus or user editable fields. A physics interface data structure comprising the user inputs is generated. A physics interface corresponding to the generated physics interface data structure is displayed in a graphical user interface. The physics interface data structure is stored on a physical memory devices.
