To refer to variables in a physics interface from within a component, use its name, such as solid. To refer to it from another component or from study and solver nodes, include the component namespace, such as comp1.solid.

To refer to the properties of a specific material, use the material node’s name, such as mat1, and the name of the material property group, which is typically def for the Basic property group. For example, to access the density ρ in Material 1 use mat1.def.rho (or, using the full name for Component 1, root.comp1.mat1.def.rho; see below). Use this pattern when referencing other material properties too.

To refer to the value of a material property as defined by the active material in each domain, use the special material namespace. For example, use material.rho to plot the density everywhere.

The COMSOL Multiphysics software evaluates the physics variables in the model component’s namespace, so you need to prepend the Name to access these variables. For example, solid.disp refers to the total displacement in a Solid Mechanics interface with the name solid.

The dependent variables (field variables) are unique within a model, and you do not need the Name to access them. For example, enter T to access the temperature in a Heat Transfer interface using the default name for the temperature.

When referring to a variable you only need to provide the part of the full name that makes the variable unique. For example, within a Solid Mechanics interface solid in Component 1 comp1, it is sufficient to type solid.disp, but comp1.solid.disp and the full name root.comp1.solid.disp are also correct. To access the same variable from another Component or from a Study, use comp1.solid.disp or root.comp1.solid.disp. The same mechanism applies to variables defined within a component. To access a global parameter param1, you can use param1 directly or root.param1.
