How I can export the value (for exemple a Force) of a element and not of a point?

I should export the Lorentz's forces, after a EM analysis. My interest is to have the value of the force for each element and not for each node or mesh point. Comsol must have the value of each element because for compute the value in each node or mesh point, it compute this with the value of the element and the shapes fonctions of element.

Hi

the COMSOL way is to give neither node nor element values but the domain or boundary field values, from the discretized dependent values solved. What more do you need, you can use a cut line/surface if you want a value anywhere within the geoemtry, or you can add some internal boundaries to export over

Good luck
