There are several defaults that are never my preference. Would like to change them – so sweeps go as desired when I forget to set them as desired, which usually gets over-ridden anyway with something not desired.

Solver>Job Configurations>Parametric
It usually doesn’t seem to matter if the appropriate sweep node has been set up and enabled as desired here. COMSOL usually adds another one with the default set to “Stop on error”. Who would ever want the default to be “Stop on error” in a sweep (one always first makes sure there would not be those types of errors present)?, but that is the default, and COMSOL usually insists that is what it will do, no matter how may times and places one tries to tell it that is not what is desired.

Results>Tables>Accumulated Probe Table
There doesn’t seem there is a way to make the default be to store this essential table in a file as well as in the model (all the data will be lost if it is not stored in a file and COMSOL crashes somewhere during a sweep, which may have run over the weekend). Many types of changes and re-runs of the model will lead to this essential instruction getting changed back to the default (store only in the model), and then the data is all lost if COMSOL crashes.

Stationary Solver>Advanced>Solver log
Why is the default not to provide “Detailed” rather than “Normal”, since “Detailed” isn’t much more detailed than “Normal” but is quite a bit more useful.

Thanks,
