transform coordinate system

Dear Comsollers

I am aware of the coordinate system available under definitions that allow us to define conditions in different coordinate system. My question is whether it is possible to use coordinate system that is mapped to an irregular surface. For example, I have a curved surface in 3D and across this surface, I would like to prescribe the variation of some parameters against the xp and yp coordintes, xp and yp being the coordinate system across the surface. Can this be done in COMSOL and how do I do this if it is possible?

Thank you.

Best wishes,
EH

I think a better way to rephrase my question is whether COMSOL can do curvilinear coordinate system.

Nevermind, I found out how. There is a physics under the Maths Module.
