Plotting Results in Thin Layers Extra Dimensions
When modeling thin layers with extra dimensions — if the Layer type is set to General in the Thin Layer, Thin Film, and Fracture features of the Heat Transfer interface, or when using the Heat Transfer in Shells interface — the layer is not explicitly represented in the geometry. Therefore, dedicated tools are available to plot the results in the layer. There are two ways of plotting variables in the 1D extra dimension:
Along the layer, for a fixed coordinate between 0 and ds (the layer thickness) in the 1D extra dimension.
See Layered Material, Layered Material Slice, and Through Thickness in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual for details about the Layered Material dataset, and slice and through-thickness plots in layered materials.
