How can I calculate RMS of Electric Field?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi dear friends,

I have modeled a simple dielectrophoresis design using AC/DC Module in COMSOL 3.5a. A 7.5 V, 100 KHz voltage was applied to the electrodes and the model was solved in transient mode.

I can see Voltage and norm of Electric Field using Post Processing menu. However, I want to visualize RMS of Electric Field. Since E(rms)=sqrt(int_0^T(E^2)), the main problem is calculating integral in COMSOL.

Could anybody help me, please?

I tried the DC simulation instead. I don't know if it's appropriate or not.

Hi
check your variables in the uquation view, I beleive the rms value is already defined therein, in 3.5a the doc was rather exhasitve about all internal variables too

Good luck
