Temperature profile, cylindrical coordinates.

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I developed a 3D model for a trickle bed reactor in Comsol 5.0 and I am interested in the temperature profile. However I have some questions:

- Can Comsol use cylindrical coordinates? How do you change them?

- I need to introduce a function for a heat source in the model related to this cylindrical coordinates, where can I do it?

- Finally I would like to represent the temperature versus x,y (Cartesians) or z,r (cylindrical), better in cylindrical but in the same plot. Something like a 2D surface plot with the temperature in the z-axis and x, and y in the other axises.

Thanks in advance.
