posteval command

Dear all,
I am trying to evaluate a normal diffusion flux of a certain quantity (say variable u) through the internal boundary (say the edge number [5]) in my comsol script (matlab framework, model is in 2D, comsol version is 3.4).
I guest I should use the "posteval" command in the form posteval(fem,'ndflux_u_certainmode',...), but the sintaxis is not clear.
Can someone suggest me what is the way to describe this in the script.
Thank you,
Ismail

Hi
Indeed you have "posteval" for evaluation over boundaries, and "postinterp" for interpolation over a line, area etc, and finally "postplot" for plotting, the latter has similar function call variables, for a different output.
These are rather complex functions as you get structures out and you have many options in. I do not use them often enough to learn all that by hart, I tend to stick to the COMSOL GUI, as often I do not have the time to go deep enough into complex matlab prcessing. As an engineer in a development lab my requests for anlysis are always "for yesterday", no time to make nice plots or fancy calculations, unfortunately. Even if I blieve its worth to master these functions well.
So each time I must use these functions, I restart my indexed search on the pdf docs and look for the descriptions and the many examples scattered all around, and I study the "m" files and history files of my models, specially I use the plot file notations to study the call variables.
For the output analysis, start with a simple example, until you get hand on the structure and the order of the elements.
And if you write up a nice cookbook, with further examples, pls post it here, it could help us other too ;)
Good luck

Thank you Ivar,
I just tried the postevai command in the following way:
pd = posteval(fem,'ndflux_u_certainmode','Dl',5,'Edim',1);
It seems it works. After pd is calculated, pd.p field gives the points along the edge [5], and field pd.d gives the required data at these points along the [5].
Best wishes,
Ismail R.
