Problem with text file export

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear community,

I've got a 2D surface in a ray optics simulation. I am interested in the intensity distribution over this 2D surface. For this I let Comsol calculate the min, max and the average intensity value.

This works quite well but if I want to export the distribution as text file it gives me a quite different distribution (other min, max and average values). The values have the same order of magnitude like the ones Comsol calculates but deviate by about 10%.
At first I thought this has to do something with different binning but for the text file export I chose the option "grid from data set". So the binning should be the same for both solutions. Can somebody help me / tell me why the results differ?

Best, Fabian
