Data extraction in a regular grid using LiveLink for MATLAB

Hi everyone. I'm having some problems extracting the results of a model that runs in Livelink for Matlab. The model seems to work fine and I can see the results in a proper form in Comsol; they consist of values distributed over a plane (a cut plane, that doesn't coincides with any boundary) that contains both a laser source and detectors. I want to extract these results using some line like:

Res = mpheval(model, '(comp1.u)', 'dataset', 'dset2' , 'refine', 4); and Res =

I want to have these values in a regular (x, y) grid with dimensions 100 mm x 60 mm, for example. How can I do? Is there any function in Comsol that could make that form me? Any way to extract the results as an regular (x, y) grid?

Thanks in advance,

Demián.

Hi

mpheval is for evaluating a solution in the node points of the mesh. Your cutplane is most likely interpolating your domain hence you need to use mphinterp.

E.g. something like this:

% Load the busbar model
mphopen busbar
% Create the cutplane
model.result.dataset.create('cpl1', 'CutPlane');
model.result.dataset('cpl1').set('quickplane', 'xy');
model.result.dataset('cpl1').set('quickz', 0.001);
% Extract the data (include x,y,z so the data can be plotted later)
[T,x,y,z]=mphinterp(model,{'T' 'x' 'y' 'z'},'dataset','cpl1');

If you want exact control over the coordinates you are probably better of using meshgrid (in Matlab) to define your coodinates before calling mphinterp:

[S1,S2]=meshgrid(0:0.01:0.09,0:-0.001:-0.05);
c=[S1(:) S2(:)];
[T,x,y,z,cpl1x,cpl1y]=mphinterp(model,{'T' 'x' 'y' 'z' 'cpl1x' 'cpl1y'},'dataset','cpl1','coord',c');

Hi, Lars. Thank you so much for your quick answer; I managed to use mpheval and then interpolating with the Matlab built-in function scatterInterpolant; finally I take only the slices in which I'm interested in. Now I'll try your method; thanks again.
