calculation errors in comsol

Dear all,

Does anybody know how to estimate errors in calculations caused by mesh size.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Re: calculation errors in comsol

Hi Alex

my way is to refine once, resolve and compare the results, but smethimes the errors are very local (stress concetration or E field concetration around sharp edges) then an adaptive meshing refinement is often better than a global refinement

Thre should be a residual variable somewhere too, check in the doc

Good luck
Ivar
