Hello,
How can I correctly define and then plot my local variables that depend on frequency, following a frequency domain study (frequency sweep)?
I am using AC/DC module for a simple AC electrokinetics problem. My variable is a vector of force that depends on the electric field at a point, and frequency-dependent effective polarisation, alpha. Effective polarisation is in turn dependent on complex permittivity of the two materials that make the structure.
I defined the complex permittivities (eps_1 and eps_2) as parameters that depend on another parameter, frequency 'freq'. Alpha is a local variable given as an expression of the eps_1 and eps_2. Force is another vector variable whose X and Y components are given as expressions in alpha, Ex.norm, and Ey.norm.
Q1. I am unable to plot alpha(freq) from a frequency domain study, frequency sweep. I therefore don't trust my results for force. How could I verify the values of eps_1/2, and alpha for different frequencies? or plot them against frequency?
Q2. How can I ensure the values of the parameters specified are indeed changed according to the frequency sweep settings? Should I be defining the frequency-dependent parameters and variables differently?
Many thanks!

Hi
study the Results Derived Values node, this generates tables with your values, and you can easily plot your tables (icon on the table border)

Good luck
