Limiting Dependent Variable

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello I am trying to solve a system of PDE equations. Among the dependent variables of this system, there is a variable that changes from 0 to 1. I was wondering if I could do that in COMSOL?

You can try to set a penalty. I saw some discussion on penalty but unfortunately forget where it is.

Use the segregated solver. If you right-click on the Segregated node, you can add Lower Limit and Upper Limit. This will force the dependent variable to stay inside limits.
