Hello All,

I was wondering if it is possible to fit a regression line to a log-log plot. (really I just need the slope of a log-log plot). Is there a way to do this in comsol, or do I have to export the data?

Thanks,
Aaron R. Shifman

I think you will have to export it.

I can think of a way to do this by using the Optimization Module to perform a least square fit. Admittedly it's a bit of overkill.
I am attaching a simple example where the Optimization Module is used to find the best linear approximation to the temperature on the top surface of a square.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the input, unfortunately I don't have the optimization module, but I get the point nonetheless --not a "COMSOL friendly" task, I'll just export the data.

Thanks,

Too late for Aaron, but: Since the launch of COMSOL Multiphysics 6.1, there is a least square fit function available in the core package that could be used for this purpose. I think it was added more with idea that it will be used pre-processing data than for post-processing of results, but, hey, why not!

For those curious to learn more, see Reference Manual for COMSOL Multiphysics version 6.1, pages 356-357.
