Conditional Expressions

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a way to make a dependent variable's expression be different depending on the value of another dependent variable.

For example, suppose we have the expression
ut-u=0

and wanted
y-u^2 = 0
for some u, but
y-u^3 = 0
for other u values.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks for any advice in advance,

You can setup expressions such as this (y-u^2)*(u<2)+(y-u^3)*(u>=2)

I see, so to make sure I understand, COMSOL evaluates inequalities as 0 if they are false, and 1 if they are true? Or is it -1 if they are false?

0 if false 1 if true
0 if false 1 if true
