How to Use Solutions from Previous Study as Initial Conditions

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm trying to perform two RF simulations on the same model, but with two different sets of material definitions. The goal is to run a simulation on the first model and then use that solution as the background field in the second model. So far I have made two versions of the models differing only in materials.

I am having trouble "accessing" the solution from the first model. I have tried using both one study and two studies. When using one study I was expecting mod1.emw1.Ex would be the field from the first model, but COMSOL gives an error. When using two studies, I haven't found been able to find the correct syntax to access a stored solution.

Does anyone have any advice/leads on how to overcome this issue.

Thanks,

Hi

check the doc and the main study node: Values of Dependent Variables tab (you might need to turn on the "View" of some of the "advanced" study (or results or physics) options. COMSOL by default gives a simplified node display, to avoid clogging and confusing newcomers, (personally I run with all modes on)

Good luck
