Getting derived values into matlab variables

Hello!

I have some trouble getting the value of an average operator into a matlab variable when using comsol through matlab.

What I get when I translate the model into an .m file is this:

model.result.numerical.create('av2', 'AvSurface');
model.result.numerical('av2').selection.all;
model.result.numerical('av2').selection.set([2]);
model.result.numerical('av2').set('expr', 'sqrt((mfnc.Br*d(mfnc.Br,r)+mfnc.Bphi*(1/r)*d(mfnc.Br,phi)+mfnc.Bz*d(mfnc.Br,z))^2+(mfnc.Br*d(mfnc.Bphi,r)+mfnc.Bphi*(1/r)*d(mfnc.Bphi,phi)+mfnc.Bz*d(mfnc.Bphi,z))^2+(mfnc.Br*d(mfnc.Bz,r)+mfnc.Bphi*(1/r)*d(mfnc.Bz,phi)+mfnc.Bz*d(mfnc.Bz,z))^2)');

What I want to do is get the value of 'av2' into a matlab variable. I tried using mpheval and mphglobal but it didnt work, not sure if I am using them right. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I meet a same problem as you.

What I have done is export the derived value into a txt file, then use the matlab function importdata() to load the value.

I appreciate very much if some one can show the direct method which can read directly the derived value.

Thanks, I ll try that. Still, there should be a more direct way. It seems pretty basic as a need to be complicated as a procedure.

You can put your derived values in table and import the table using mphtable(model, 'tabletag');
This works perfect for Nx2 table but it fails for NxM where M>2. Try and see if this help
