Using exact time from Event Interface

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi everyone,

I am wondering that How can I extract value of time from Event interface during Time-Dependent Solver to use for another purpose?

For example, I use Event Interface to set up an expression : "A-100 >0"
Can I use the value of time when the expresssion changes form False to True ?

Thanks a lot for any help !

Best Regards,
N.N

Hello Nhan,
Have you considered using the approach mentioned in the thread www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/112182/ ?

Hi Jeff,
Thanks a lot for your help !
I read your thread you mentioned before and I find it very useful.


But I have not still known how to do something like this :

For example, I use Event Interface to set up an expression : "A-100 >0"
Then I declare a new expression in ODE like this : "t-t_event" (t_event is the moment as the expression above becomes TRUE )
If A-100 >10 at t=5.5 [s], for instance, the value of "t_event" is supposed to be 5.5

Can I do that in Comsol ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

The idea is to use a global ODE to integrate a state parameter set initially to 1 and which changes value to 0 when the event occurs. From that point on, the variable for the ODE will be "stuck" at the time at which the event occurred.
Please contact COMSOL Support (support@comsol.com) if you need further help with this.
