As far as we know, the main coordinates system in COMSOL is Cartesian, i.e. x,y,z, for both simulation and display. Although we can set a cylindrical coordinates, i.e. ρ,θ,φ, in Model==>Definitions==>coordinates system, however the simulation results seem to be still in Cartesian coordinates.
The Cartesian coordinates may be easy to deal with and more general, sometimes the cylindrical coordinates is more convenient when we process the model with circle shape.
I would like to know will COMSOL plan to add the initial coordinates setup in next vision? That means we can set the coordinates initially and then all the simulation and results are within the coordinates system we defined.
