Does Comsol4 have the function of Time-integral?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

We can do Integration at several places in Comsol4, but it seems that all are space-integral, such as a domain, a boundary ---
If I want to do an Integration at a range of time, How should I do?

Hi

this has been discussed a few times, try a search on the Forum, but I cannot remember the "good" solution, as I do not believe there is a "time integration" operator as for the space integration.

In som cases you can change the time variable to a space variable, if you can adapt the equations

Good luck

Hi

Thanks Ozgur, I forgot to search on the KB, I was sure it was somewhere ;)

Right on, Ozgur, and in release 4.2a we have some nice news on this topic:

New additional time-dependent solutions operators that you can use for results evaluation, for example:

- timeint() for time integration

- timeavg() for time averages

4.2a will start shipping end of this week.

Hello Niklas,

I was wondering where may I find the time integral function timeint()? It would be great if you may drop quick tips to use this function

However, sugestions from Ivar and knowledge base 913 was helpful.

-Thanks
Kumar

Hi

The special operator "timeint()" is in v4.2a (1.66 is my current one) try a help search "timeint" or "special operators"
It's limited to post processing though. For the solver process you must go via the ODE as described in the KB

Good luck
