COMSOL 4.2a bug ?

Hi, dear all,

I seriously hope it is my personal mistake, not a bug in 4.2a.
I draw a rectangular and do the laminar flow module, inlet 2.6m/s on one of boundary, then just run the study.
I plot the inlet\ velocity, to make sure the inlet velocity is 2.6m/s, but in COMSOL 4.2a it give me 0.026m/s.

I ask my friend plot the same thing in 4.2, it return correct 2.6m/s.

Can somebody help me confirm it is a bug or my personal mistake? as it looks like postprocessing data in COMSOL 4.2a scale down the unit.

Thank you.

I apologize about the mistake.

The solution is i do not clear the solution in 4.2a and rerun it again.

now solve already.

sorry.

Hi

indeed I would be astonished thaat you get such a "mistake" without other having noticed it ;) a factor 1000 is typically a unit error meters to mm, but could be other things.

One rule I do (at best) is to relaunch a fresh COMSOL for each new model, as when you delete an old one and rebuild, you are nwever 100% sure that ALL default variables are reset, there are so many inside COMSOL ...

Good luck
