Is it possible toselect a particular solution of a certain data set using "withsol"

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I have 2 study steps giving 2 data sets under different boundary conditions. I now want to be able to access the mode solutions of both the data sets and integrate them across the entire geometry. The new operator "withsol" seems to be the answer if I have control over which eigensolutions to include in the integration. Is that a possible?

I am attaching a simplistic model for the same. The variable to evaluate is defined as kappaL and kappaR in "Variables" node.

Hi,

Yes, that is possible by using the setval() argument to withsol().

See for example the discussion in www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/86181

Thank you, Henrik. So, for a certain eigen value, it would be setval('solnum', ##)??

Hi,

In your case it probably easiest to pick by eigenvalue number (rather than by value). Use setind() like in withsol('sol1',emw.normE,setind(lambda,2)) to pick eigenvalue number 2.

Trick: Use withsol() in a plot to see that it works as expected. With the expression above you can override the Data set and Mode index selectors in the plot.

Thank you, Henrik, It works perfectly:) One final question: is there a way to do the same thing by defining variables in the variables section? I have checked that the "withsol" command works for the second set of solutions but not if I try to use the first set of solutions that is stored as Solution Store 1.

Hi,

It should work under Variables too. Variables containing withsol() operators can of course not be used in a place in the solver sequence before the referenced solution is computed. But that should not be the issue here, since it seems to be the first solution (='sol2') which causes problems.

Please submit your model to support if you cannot sort out this problem.

Thank you, Henrik. It works for my requirements!
