External files used in documentation

Questions
1

The tutorials in the official documentation are simply wonderful, however, several of them depend on external files that AFAIK are not available (for instance the furniture.stl on this tutorial). The lack of these files hinders the replicability of these resources.

Is there a place where these can be downloaded?

Hi Santiago

These files are available in your copy of Wolfram Language software. You just need to find the same notebook locally in your documentation, instead of just coping the code to your notebook. For this particular example you linked, you can find it by opening the documentation page and search for “Eigenfrequencies of a Room” OR simply copy this into the search bar: “PDEModels/tutorial/Acoustics/ModelCollection/RoomEigenfrequencies”

when you try to evaluate the code line, a message will pop out asking you to agree to evaluate initial cells, click yes (this will import “furnitureMesh” along with other data) and you will find that the line will be evaluated correctly.

Hope this answers your question.

I know this is a very old post, but I am having the same issue in the same tutorial.

The notebook is accessible from within Mathematica, and the file is located under the following path on my hard drive:

/Library/Wolfram/Documentation/13.2/en-us/Documentation/English/Paclets/PDEModels/Tutorials/Acoustics/ModelCollection

The code in the RoomEigenfrequencies notebook includes a relative reference to another directory called “SupportFiles” but this does not appear to exist on my hard drive:

bmesh = Import[FileNameJoin[{
ParentDirectory[
NotebookDirectory[], 6], "SupportFiles", "SmoothWallModel.stl"}], 
   "ElementMesh"];

I downloaded the “Mathematica + Documentation” installer, which I would have expected to include local copies of all example notebooks and supporting files.

Any help on how to add the “SupportFiles” material will be appreciated.

Edit: I do get the “Evaluate Initialization Cells” popup mentioned above, but clicking ok does not address the issue. It seems like the files are nowhere on my hard drive.

Edit: Realizing this question relates more to Mathematica than to Wolfram Language, I posted a new topic under the Mathematica group. Apologies for the duplicate query but I figured it should be posted in the correct group.

Please note that I have found a workaround for the problem, which is described in my newer post in the Mathematica group.
