How do I compute time integrals in my time-dependent COMSOL Multiphysics model? How do I do a space integral? The best way to compute time integrals in a problem is to introduce the integral itself...
Version: 4.2 - Platform: All Platforms

Is it possible to get a slice plot at some other angle, i.e. not parallel to the coordinate planes? Can I even change its shape? COMSOL 4: There are two Plane types for slices: Quick and General. The latter is used to...
