mphinterp function vs. Pointwise data evaluation or export

Hi All,

I have got some problems about visualizing the results with Matlab. To be specific, the mphinterp function gives a very different value from the solution already stored at that point.

My code is below. Would be grateful for some insight..

THIS IS THE EXPORT FILE AND WORKS:

model.result.export.create('data1', 'Data');

model.result.export('data1').set('filename', 'D:\Users\dogan\Desktop\COMSOL_BSH_calc\Untitled.txt');

model.result.export('data1').set('gridx3', '0.145');

model.result.export('data1').set('gridy3', '2.47');

model.result.export('data1').set('gridz3', '0.1');

model.result.export('data1').set('expr', {'acpr.p_t'});

model.result.export('data1').set('location', 'grid');

model.result.export('data1').run;

THE 2ND IS THE mphinterp LINE:

SPL_rcv(iRun) = mphinterp(model,'acpr.absp','coord', [0.1447; 2.47; 0.015]);

THE 3RD OPTION IS Point EVALUATION.

model.result.numerical.create('pev1', 'EvalPoint');

model.result.numerical('pev1').selection.set([9]);

model.result.numerical('pev1').set('probetag', 'none');

model.result.numerical('pev1').setResult;

IT WORKS BUT I CANNOT SOMEHOW VISUALIZE THE VALUE AND DONT UNDERSTANT WHY THE FOLLOWING LINE GIVES ERROR:

SPL_rcv(iRun) =model.result.numerical('pev1').setResult;

Best Regards Hakan Dogan

It can be difficult to help without seeing your model, but I have a few observations: * The expressions for the export node and mphinterp are not the same. * You fail to set an expression for the third option. * setResult doesn't return the result, but transfers it to a table (that has to be set up using the 'table' property). You probably want to use getReal and getImag instead to return the numerical result.

...but mphinterp should work. If it doesn't then please post your model (either here or send the model to support@comsol.com).

Dear Lars,

Many thanks for the answer. I have noticed that the problem was with reading the complex numbers (the imaginary part of the complex number was being omitted, but with correct string format, the problem is overcome now). Otherwise, mphinterp seems working.

Thank you also for the functions getReal and getImag. They will be helpful I guess.

For interested people, I copy below how to insert a Complex Number as a boundary condition in Livelink:

presAvg=pressureInput(1,iRun);

tt=sign(imag(presAvg));

if tt==1

presStr=[num2str(real(presAvg)) '+' num2str(imag(presAvg)) 'i'];

else

presStr=[num2str(real(presAvg)) num2str(imag(presAvg)) 'i'];

end

model.physics('acpr').feature('pr1').set('p0', presStr);

Hi

I'm pretty sure that presStr = num2str(presAvg) works just as well as your slighter longer piece of code.
