Hello folks,

I wanna to draw "erfc" function as an upper border for my geometry.
Any idea ?

Thank you in advance!

Hi

I agree that an integrated "erf" function/operator in COMSOL would be nice (even to use it as initial conditions !) but for some reason it's not in there (YOU HEAR US COMSOL DEVELOPPERS ? perhaps they will notice, I believe I suggested this already a few years ago ;)

I would say, to get around, you can call it in from matlab or make up a small 1D model in COMSOL and solve it since it's an ODE, no ?

But the easiest is probably to use one of the approximations readily available, see Wiki, or Eric Weisstein 's pages or "Abramowitz and Stegun"'s book or any of the others

Good luck
