Hello, I am trying to solve the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation, which incorporates the complex number and complex conjugate function. I have no idea how to handle the complex things in PDE. Please help me how to do that.

Hi

by default COMSOL works in real mode, but is able to switch to complex mode, sometimes by itself (when programmed to detect it), or by user settings. Then you need to enter and read out the values, ie. Bode plots must be programmed manually as "abs(varable)" and "atan2(imag(variable),real(varable)*180/pi"

check also the realdot() operator, and the phasor notation of COMSL

Good luck
