Hello,

This may seem like a silly question. I am new to comsol and am attempting to create a very simple model for educational purposes. I wish to create 4 point sources in a square configuration and study their interference in the far-field, however I can see no clear way to define a simple point source.

Any assistance anyone could provide is much appreciated.

Kevin

Kevin,

I guess what you are after is an electric or magnetic point dipole, which is in the 'Points' submenu.

Cheers Edgar
