read temperature from a domain and use it in an equation

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, I am new to COMSOL and I have a question to you guys. I am working on my masters degree project but currently I need some advice in order to be able to proceed.

I use the conjucated heat transfer module to simulate an overhead line conductor. The conductor domain is 1.
Is there a way to read the temperature of this conductor (domain1) and use it in an equation?

My equation is R = 2*T + 5 where T is the temperature of the conductor (domain1).
I tried using R = 2*mod1.dom1.T + 5 but this does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I think T is dependent variable of heat transfer.

so, you can express R is just 2*T+5 in variables options.
