What Can You Do With the Physics Builder?

The Physics Builder is a graphical programming environment where application experts can design tailored physics interfaces through an interactive desktop environment and without the need for coding.

With the Physics Builder you can deploy the tailored physics interfaces to create your own products and custom physics interfaces for specific applications.

The workflow for creating new physics interfaces is similar to creating a multiphysics model except that the result is a new user interface rather than a new model.

Figure 1-1: The definition of a new physics interface “Magnetic Field Formulation”: in the Physics Builder (left) and the result in the Model Builder (right).

The Physics Builder window contains a tree that represents a physics interface design project. Such a project can define anything from a single physics interface to an entire product with a collection of physics interfaces.

The following chapters describe the tools that you use in the Physics Builder and provide detailed examples of how to create custom physics.
