COMSOL 4.1 time scaling coefficient

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Anyone know where I can find the time-scaling coefficient in COMSOL 4.1? In comsol 3.5 the time-scaling coefficient can be inputted in the subdomain window for convection and diffusion problems. I can't seem to find it for COMSOL 4.1.

Thanks for the help!

Hi

I'm not sure its implemented, but you can always use a 30[hour] or 30[min] or even 30[day] and 3[year] as unit to get COMSOL (not sure if a "standard month" exist) to look after how many seconds that is, and for the plots you rescale the same way

Good luck

Thanks for the response. Do you also know how to implement a 1D problem in COMSOL 4.1 using spherical coordinates? In COMSOL 3.5 I was able to do this by setting the time scaling coefficient to r*r, but since now this can't be done in COMSOL 4.1.

Hi

interesting way of using the time constant ;)

but don't you also need to correct the spatial dimension ?

I believe you should send this question to support, as it might give them ideas of alternate use of features in the programme
