At any time during the implementation of a physics interface using the Physics Builder, you can launch an updated preview of the physics interface so that you can add feature nodes and check that the contents and behavior of the associated Settings windows and other functionality is as expected.
To do this select the main node for the physics interface implementation (for example, Thermoelectric Effect and then click the Show Preview button (
) on the Settings window toolbar (or press F8). An instance of the physics interface then displays at the bottom of the Physics Builder tree.
