URGENT: How to mix solutions from previous iterations

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am setting up a problem of two coupled PDEs (Schrodinger Poisson) in the following way:
First I solve one for u assuming u2=0.
Then I solve for u2 using the solution for u.
Then I mix the new solution for u2 with the one from the previous iteration (in the first step it was assumed u2=0.)
And the approach is repeated until convergence is reached.
How is the above most easily set up in COMSOL? I have set up a study with two steps. On for each of the differential equations. Then I make a for-loop statement in the solver and specify an appropriate number of iterations. The problem is how to call the solution for u2 from the current and previous iteration. I have looked at the ''Variables solved for/ not solved for'' tabs as on the attached picture. What should I put in these? And how do I tell the solver to use a zero solution for the very first iteration and then mix with the previous in the next?
