Problem in using the extrusion variables

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I will appretiate for that some one give me a guide for solving the coulped system by using extrusion variables in COMSOL v3.5.

My Model description:
1. I have 1D for channel, two 2-D models for backing layer and membrane
2. The dependent variables in 1D will be extruded to one of the boundary of 2-D backing layer. The sources terms of 1-D equation comes from the boundary flux of 2-D backing layer
3. the similar conditions happen between 2-D backing layer model and 2-D membrane model

My Solver setting:
1. stationary solver, UMPACK
2. relative tolerance: 1e-6. using damping Newton method
3. max. iteration number: 300
4. Initial values is set as the "current solution" in the "solver management dialog"

My question:
1. Can COMSOL solve such strong-coulped equations by means of extrusion variables?
2. How to get the validated initial guess value to make the computation to be convergence?


Thank you for your attention!
