Hello everybody

I am pretty new in COMSOL. I have following (easy) problem: I study an advection-diffusion problem, where the reaction rate variable Rc is given by following equation:

Rc=(ceqA-c)/ceqA (it is actually the dissolution of a mineral)

I want that when this term does not become negative, i.e. when ceqA<c then it must be set equal to zero by the program. In excel this would be a simple 'if' function. How does one do it in COMSOL?

Thank you very much in advance

How about Rc=(ceqA-c)*(c>ceqA)/ceqA?

Normally it is like if (condition, case A, case B).

Try .....*(c<ceqA) which is 1 when it is true and zero when it is false.
Try .....*(c
