I want to integrate a series of xy cut planes in a 3D model. I have been doing this manually changing z each time: z=0,100,200,300....Ideally I would like finer increments and a more automated way to do this. Is there a way to do this? Maybe make a table somehow?

Hi Paul,
The same question was addressed very recently in the Forum.
See www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/94851/#p220002
Best,

Thanks, Jeff.

I hadn't found the discussion from earlier this month, but I did find that link to the blog. I've had some troubles with that. I did exactly what it said (but instead of spf.U, I used ewbe.Poavz), and I got a huge error screen:

Any tips here? I can do this manually just fine, but something is odd here.
