Plot electric field for a grating structure with finite periods

Hi all,

I am new to COMSOL and just studied the Plasmonic Wire Grating tutorial using Wave Optics model.

I want to generate a figure with many periodic cells instead of just one, but can't find information about it.

One last question, if I want to plot other physical entities (like the x-component of the electric field as a function of x) do I have to code it or is there some library with functions already written?

Thank you in advance. Jorge

Jorge,

To plot many periodic cells, create Array data set and the reference to this set in a Plot Group, as shown in the attached image.

There a lot of predefined variables - you can use Equation View or Replace Expression option to see the list of predefined variables.

Regards,

Sergei

I did manage to create an Array data set and plot it, thank you.

On the other hand, I did not find the "Replace Expression" feature. I enabled "Equation View" where it shows variables like "Surface current density, x component" (see figure eq_view.png) but don't know how to plot it as a function of x for example.

How can one see all functions COMSOL had by default and is there a tutorial about the syntax used by COMSOL to insert new functions?
