When I attempt a Frequency Domain solution I get the following error message:

"Errors during multiphysics.

Two points describing the axis vector needs to be defined properly. "

I can't find a reference to this error anywhere. What does it mean?

I get a similar error. I recently installed Comsol 4.3b and I am trying to use the Wave Optics package but when I try to make a simple model it gives me the same error.

I don't see anywhere that will let me define the axis vector.

Does anyone have any solutions?

Thanks in advance,
Mark.

I was able to get the answer to this from Tech Support:

"The error that you are
getting is because of the use of circular port without reference axis.
Please see the attached model in which the reference axis is selected for
the Circular Port. The Circular Port Reference Axis is available only in
3D. When the Type of port is set to Circular under Port Properties,
right-click the Port node to add the Circular Port Reference Axis
subfeature. Two points are used to define the orientation of fields on a
port boundary. If there are more than two points on the selection list, the
first and last points are used. "

Thank you very much!

I didn't see that option at all. I hope i can get this working correctly now.

Thanks again,
Mark.
