Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how to measure the distance between two objects in COMSOL, such as the distance between to surfaces, distance between one surface to another body?

Thanks.

Hi,

you can measure a distance if you have an edge. In that case, you can use Geometry > Measurement, then select Edge (if you select a domain, you measure the volume, or the area from a boundary etc.).
Btw, did you import your geometry? otherwise, you have all the coordinates (and so distances) in your geometry sequence!

Cheers
