Hi!

let's say I want to evaluate this definite integral sin(alpha+theta)d_theta from theta=0 to 90 deg where alpha is a known number. How to do that? Alpha is different in every step of the calculation thus integration has to be performed at every step.


Best regards
Rokas

How is your question related to COMSOL?

Thanks for your answer :)

I am working on time-dependent simulation where my alpha changes and the value of the integral is used in the next step. My question is related to COMSOL because the integral has to be evaluated by COMSOL as a part of the model. Hope this helps :)

Does integration coupling variable help?

I'm not sure about your particular case. But you can try to search in the documentation or just google it. Actually I think the first google result looks relevant: www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/15392/

I don't think it is related with my thread. The thing is that I want to integrate not over a time or the coordinate. My integration should be performed independent to somewhat is happening in the model but the integration should be done at every time step. I attached a pdf of the equation I want to implement.

Isn't it possible to do the integration by yourself...?

Yes, this integral has a simple analytic solution. You can define it as a simple function into your model.

I can do the integration by Matlab, it is not a problem but how to join my values with COMSOL simulation? In this case, my theta comes from Comsol, I do integration in Matlab and then obtain value should be submitted to Comsol and this routine should be performed every step. Is this what you meant?

Guys, I wrote this function as an example, unfortunately, the real function I use has no analytic solution.

Then you still can solve it numerically and use the interpolation option in COMSOL to define the function.

have you found a good way to solve the problem in comsol but not use the numerical solution?
