Setting a maximum limit to a variable

I am creating a user-defined variable for calculating pumping power, which will be a function of pressure difference and flow rate. I will use the pressure difference calculated by COMSOL as the input for the function. However, I want to set a maximum limit for the pumping power value, so that it does not exceed a certain threshold. Is there a built-in function in COMSOL that can help me achieve this?

Hello Shaik,

You could accomplish this by using an expression involving booleans to define your pumping power function, something like

which equals f(p) when f(p) is less than 5 and saturates at 5 when f(p) is greater than 5.

Best,

Jeff

Hello Shaik, You could accomplish this by using an expression involving booleans to define your pumping power function, something like ( f(p) < 5 ) * f(p) + ( f(p) > 5 ) * 5 which equals f(p) when f(p) is less than 5 and saturates at 5 when f(p) is greater than 5. Best, Jeff
