evaluation of the time dependent value of variables on a moving point of domain

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

Im doing the simulation of a sessile microdroplet, in level-set and conductive DC medias, which is a transient problem.

I have two fluids, water and oil, seperated by an interface of the droplet. So after I get the results I want to track the value of a variable in a point over my interface which is moving by passing the time, but I don't know how to do it.
Could somebody please help me with that.

Thanks

Hi

I'm having some similar problems to define postprocessing points/lines moving along defined by a parameter, in V4 it does not seem to be implemented.

One workaround that smetimes is OK is to define a cut line and track the full line, then read out the position related to the time not always easy nor very elegant, but possible in many cases. Via Matlb I suppose you can read it out with a postinterp() operator in 3.5 and whatever it is now called in V4 (check the LiveLink for Matlab doc)

Good luck

Hi,

Thanks for that.
However, Im using Comsol 3.5, but Id be grateful if u wud let me know in case there would be a straight way for that in V. 3.5.
If not I think I will need to follow your approach.

All the best

Hi

my first reaction for 3.5a would be do it in Matlab with postinterp()
