'femstatic' function - solcomp, outcomp

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I'm using COMSOL 3.5a, and programming a model in COMSOL with MATLAB. I am using a 3-D Solid, Stress-Strain Application mode in the Structural Mechanics Model.

I have a question about the 'femstatic' function, specifically the 'solcomp' and 'outcomp' parameters.

When I use the COMSOL GUI to solve my problem, and save it as a MATLAB file, it comes out as:

fem.sol=femstatic(fem, ...
'solcomp',{'w','v','u'}, ...
'outcomp',{'w','v','u'}, ...
'blocksize','auto', ...
'linsolver','spooles');

Why is 'solcomp' specified in the order 'w','v','u'? Does it make a difference if it is 'u','v','w'?

Thanks!
