Hi everybody,

I use a 3dconnexion Spave Navigator for control in SolidWorks.
In COMSOL such devices are (to my disappointment) not supported.
Does anbody know about a feature request? If not and more people would be interested
in this, I'd very much like to make a feature request out of this...
What does the community think about this?

Regards,
Markus

I would also like if the forum had a function for deleting my previous post...

At least one more ^^ :-)

Do you know how to send feature requests to COMSOL?

Hi

I do not have such a fancy thing, but I can understand the wish ;)

My way, in such cases, is to mail a short mail with some good arguments to "suggest" see the COMSOL main web contact page

Good luck

I have just written a suggestion to COMSOL, let's see.
Maybe the others who showed interest in the topic could also do it,
so COMSOL can see that I am not th only one :-)

Best,
Markus

I'd like to have this support too. I'm using SpacePilotPro and it's really a mess the fact that I can't use it with Comsol4. Anyway. I've downloaded che SDK from the 3DConnexion site. I would know how difficult the programming of this peripheral can be.

Well is it difficult?

This is not tested, but I assume it would be possible to use such a mouse if you use the integrated interface for COMSOL simulations inside SolidWorks or Inventor.

One of the exciting news announced at the COMSOL Conference is that the upcoming version 5.3a will support the 3DConnexion SpaceMouse. Jeff

3DConnexion, the makers of SpaceMouse, now officially recognize COMSOL Multiphysics as a support software. See their webpage.
