Derivate of a dependent variable is 0

Hi,

I am having a really dumb problem. I am doing something wrong.

I apply a physic(Lubrication Shell) and the output is a pressure distribution. I need the derivate of this pressure respect x and y.

d(pf,x)
d(pf,y)

When I plot it,the result is always null. Is it derivating a constant?

What I am doing wrong? I attach a file just to show it but it is really easy to do it.

Use dtang(pf,x) instead since pf is only defined on a boundary.
