Domain, Boundary, Edge, Point, and Pair Nodes for the Electromagnetic Waves, Frequency Domain Interface
The Electromagnetic Waves, Frequency Domain Interface has these domain, boundary, edge, point, and pair nodes and subnodes. The nodes are listed in alphabetical order and are available from the Physics ribbon toolbar (Windows users), Physics context menu (Mac or Linux users), or by right-clicking to access the context menu (all users).
In general, to add a node, go to the Physics toolbar, no matter what operating system you are using. Subnodes are available by clicking the parent node and selecting it from the Attributes menu.

Boundary Conditions
With no surface currents present, the boundary conditions
need to be fulfilled. Because E is being solved for, the tangential component of the electric field is always continuous, and thus the first condition is automatically fulfilled. The second condition is equivalent to the natural boundary condition
and is therefore also fulfilled. The following conditions are available (listed in alphabetical order):
•

For 2D axisymmetric components, COMSOL Multiphysics takes the axial symmetry boundaries (at r = 0) into account and automatically adds an Axial Symmetry node to the component that is valid on the axial symmetry boundaries only.
In the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual see Table 2-4 for links to common sections and Table 2-5 to common feature nodes. You can also search for information: press F1 to open the Help window or Ctrl+F1 to open the Documentation window.
