Error in the demo model ?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

There is a demo example "Thermoelectric_leg.mph" available in the Multiphysics installation and it locates
in directory c:\program files\COMSOL\COMSOL43b\demo\builder\thermoelectric_leg.mph". It uses model
ThermoelectricEffect.mphphb in the same directory. Opening the model results the following error message:

"No dependent variable can be found for identifier "temperature"
-Feature:Domain Feature 2 (ThermoelectricModel)

Obviously a small error in the model, but how it can be corrected ?

Hi Mika,

Please apply the COMSOL 4.3b update 1 if you have not already done so:
www.comsol.eu/support/updates/comsol43bp1/

Alternatively, in the Physics Builder Manager, first remove and then re-add the ThermoelectricEffect.mphphb file to Archive Browswer>Development Files.

Regards,
Anders
