Hello,
I am hoping someone might be able to help me write an expression for the magnitude of an electric field. The electric potential is solved in the electrostatics module. I am using a 2D axisymmetric model. I hoope to implement this operator in an analytic function that depends on the magnitude of the electric field at that point.
So far I haven't been able to find any operator such as norm() or magnitude() or | | to represent the magnitude. I found an online solution for a simimlar problem in the tds module where the following was used to find the magnitude of mass flux of a certain species ineach direction. I coudn't convert this into a form that comsol would acccept for my problem.
sqrt(tds.mflux_cx^2+tds.mflux_cy^2+tds.mflux_cz^2)
Any help that anyone is able to provide would be much apreciated.
Thanks, Lee

es.normE is the norm (aka, magnitude) of the electric field in the electrostatics module. If you've run an electrostatics model, then that should be available. Have you tried that?
