problem of user defined function

I am using poroelasticity module. I defined a analytic function named G. It is a function of poro.eZ (strain component in z direction), G=f(poro.eZ), and I can plot out the figure of the G(poro.eZ) correctly. But when I try to compute the model, there is an error, the screen shot of which is attached.

What is the meaning of "Function: dmod1.G_dporo.eZ"?

Anyone can tell me what is the problem of that? Any suggestions to solve this error? thanks a lot!

Hi

strange, you must have a typo somewhere, or an internal pointer error in the file.

But I would, just to be sure, use another name as "G" might be used by COMSOL, internally

Good luck

Thanks Ivar,

I have actually tried change the name of the function into other name, like "S", but there is still the same problem. If there is a typo, I think I can not plot out the figure of G vs. poro.eZ, but actually it can be correctly plot out.

Do you know what is the meaning of the character "d" in the error function of "dmod1.G_dporo.eZ"? Does it mean derivative?

Sometimes, another error showed (attachment).

Hi

no idea what the "d" is except if you have renamed the "mod1" identifier to "dmod1"

now do not forget that poro.eZ is a "field" hence its poro.eZ(x,y,z,t) (or depending on "r" if in 2D-axi) so when you evaluate G(poro.eZ) you need to have a geometrical Entity defined, onto which the field poro.eZ is evaluated

Hi Ivar,

My model's name is "mod1" not "dmod1".
I use 2D-axi model. I think poro.eZ represents the strain in the z direction of the geometry. I defined function as G=f(poro.eZ).
Sometimes, it will show error "failed to evaluate temporary symbolic derivative variable", what does that mean?
Thanks a lot!
