Hi all,

I would like to estimate an area based on a condition: ( for exampled the cumulative area on where the stress exceeds the strength ? Does anyone has clues on how to do it in Comsol 5.5 ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Sarab,

You can use the integration tool available under Derived Values to integrate the boolean expression of your choice, for instance if you integrate T>300 it will return the volume where the temperature is greater than 300, etc.

Best,

Jeff

Hi,

Yes, in Surface Integration node under Results>Derived Values, for example, if you enter an expression such as

solid.mises>0.25[MPa]

It will evaluate to 1 where it's true (that is, the effective von Mises stress is above 0.25 MPa) and 0 everywhere else, so the surface area of that integration will be the area where the condition is true.
