Hi all,

the stationary form of the Coefficient PDE form is

I interpret this equation as

I think in the case where u is a scalar function this is correct. But when for example is a vectorlike function I cannot match the dimensions.

For example assume we have

Then

but has in the COMSOL interface entries. How do I match this such that in the end I get a two component vector again?

Many thanks in advance!
