Changing Material Properties during transient runs (COMSOL Livelink)

Hello all,
I am currently working on a script in COMSOL Livelink and while I have everything working, I was wondering....
Is there a way that I can start up a transient run for say 10ns, pause the run and change the material parameters (i.e. the conductivity of one segment), and pick right back up from the 10ns point using the new parameter for the system? This is specifically using a COMSOL Livelink script that is being run in MATLAB.

Hi William,
Why not make the material property(ies) function(s) of time (t) instead of using parameters? This way you wouldn't even ned to pause the run at 10[ns].

Hi Jeff, I thought of this idea but I run into two proiblems. 1) I don't have an analytical expression of what the conductivity should be at various points. The change is dependent on the results of the system. 2) I don't necessarily know WHEN the properties should change.

OK, but you could still define your conductivity using a single expression that switches between two different expressions (which don't have to be analytical - could be interpolation functions) depending on whether your particular criterion (which does not need to be explicitly defined as a time) is reached. Something conceptually like this:
expression1+(expression2-expression1)*criterion
In any case, as an alternative approach, you may also want to look into Events, see this blog for an example.
Best,
Jeff

Jeff, This looks like a promising potential tool and may be exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for this!!!
