Hi

I am newbie for comsol. I want to integrate the cross product between Electric field components (Ex,Ey,Ez) and radius vector (r -originating from the origin [0,0,0]) defined as r=sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2) inside a domain (volume). integral ( r x E)

I am unable to figure out how to use the vector components of radius vector r. So that I am able to define them as global variable by evaluating the following expression.

| i j k |
| rx ry rz |
| Ex Ey Ez |

Later I could integrate them on the desired domain.

P.S. I am using comsol version 3.5a.

Thanks,

Hi

I'm not fully following you:

rx,ry,rz isn't that your x,y,z ?

and the integration of a cross product isn't it a vector integration so its three integrations ?

of the type (int(y*Ez-z*Ey), -int(x*Ez-z*Ex), int(x*Ey-y*Ex))

I might have got the cross product up side down, pls check, and I might have completely missed your poit ;)

Good luck

Thanks Ivar for the answer. I must admit it turned out to be a silly question ;).
