mathematical expression

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi people
in the expressions in general I have terms to which I can assign a value or even an expression.
In the maths module I have a source term "f"
I can assign to f any value I want

but how can I assign to f the derivative of u?
I mean, to have f=du/dx what should I write in there?

should I write ux? dux? u'x ?

Hi

if u is a deendent variable of your PDE then COMSOL notation makes ux the first derivative of u along x, uxx the second derivative etc ... See the doc it's all in there use the search

Good luck
