Description
model.result().numerical().create(<ftag>,"Eval") creates an evaluation feature with the name <ftag>.
Eval is a feature made specifically for users of the COMSOL API and does not appear in the COMSOL Multiphysics Desktop. It is used to evaluate results directly on the solution.
result = model.result().numerical(<ftag>).getData() returns the real part of the result, recomputing the feature if necessary. result is a three-dimensional double matrix ordered result[expression][solnum][coordinates].
model.result().numerical(<ftag>).getData(<expressionIndex>) returns the real part of the result for one expression, equivalent to result[expressionIndex].
result = model.result().numerical(<ftag>).getImagData() returns the imaginary part of the result, recomputing the feature if necessary. result is a three-dimensional double matrix ordered result[expression][solnum][coordinates].
model.result().numerical(<ftag>).getImagData(<expressionIndex>) returns the imaginary result for one expression, equivalent to result[expressionIndex].
model.result().numerical(<ftag>).isComplex() returns true if the result is complex. The resulting value is a scalar, which true if any of the expressions in an array is complex valued.
model.result().numerical(<ftag>).isComplex(<outersolnum>) returns true if the result is complex for the given outer solution. <outersolnum> is applicable only for parametric sweep solutions and is the index of each outer parametric solution.
model.result().numerical(<ftag>).getNData() returns the number of points in the data vector.
model.result().numerical(<ftag>).getCoordinates() returns node point coordinates.
model.result().numerical(<ftag>).getElements() returns indices to columns in p of a simplex mesh.
model.result().numerical(<ftag>).getVertexElements() returns indices to mesh elements for each point.
The following properties are available:

name
Value
Default
Description
const
String array of property/value pairs
Empty
Parameters to use in the expressions.
data
none | dataset name
First compatible dataset
The dataset this feature refers to. Only Solution, Particle, Shell, and Ray datasets are supported.
differential
on | off
on
Whether the expression should be linearized at the linearization point. Applicable only if evalmethod is harmonic.
evalmethod
linpoint | harmonic | lintotal | lintotalavg | lintotalrms | lintotalpeak
harmonic
Applicable only for solutions with a stored linearization point. Controls if the linearization point, the perturbation, or a combination should be used when evaluating the expression.
expr
String array
Model dependent
The expressions to evaluate.
complexfun
on | off
on
Use complex-valued functions with real input.
gporder
positive integer
1
If pattern is gauss: The Gauss point order.
matherr
on | off
off
Error for undefined operation or variable.
outersolnum
nonnegative integer
1
The index of the outer solutions to use. Applicable only for parametric sweep models.
refine
auto | integer
auto
Refinement of elements for evaluation points.
recover
off | pprint | ppr
off
The derivative recovery method (off, within domains, or everywhere).
pattern
gauss | lagrange
lagrange
Specifies if evaluation takes place in Lagrange points or in Gauss points.
phase
double
0
Evaluate solution at this angle, given in degrees.
smooth
none | material | internal | everywhere | expression
material
Smoothing settings. With material, smoothing is done inside domains with the same material. With internal, smoothing is done inside geometry domains. With expression, the smoothing is based on the expression in smoothexpr.
smoothexpr
String
dom
The expression to use for smoothing when smooth is set to expression.
t
double array
Empty
The times to use. Available when the underlying solution is transient.
threshold
manual | none
none
Use a smoothing threshold.
thresholdvalue
double
0.1
Threshold value (0-1), if threshold is set to manual.
unit
String
Model dependent
The unit to use for the expression in expr. If the old unit is not valid when the expression changes, the unit property is reset to default.
