Hi..
We are try to design saw delay line gas sensor, during the simulation we got error as- Fail to find destination boundaries or destination selection empty please help us to sort out this error.

Uhyadav:

Uploading the model would be best, but I know when setting up periodic boundary conditions (BCs) this error can occur if COMSOL cannot determine the orientation of the periodicity. For example, setting all four boundaries of a unit cell as periodic under a single BC node--this is wrong, as each boundary pair (the -x/+x faces and -y/+y faces) needs a separate BC implemented.

However, a "gas sensor" model wouldn't seem to need periodic BCs, unless this is a common practice for MEMS. This error also might occur if you are trying to copy a boundary mesh, perhaps? Again, stating more about your error in context with your model will help others better understand your problem.

we have confusion in setting the periodic condition and ground in case of saw delay line sensor. please he us.

we are getting out from BC error, a new error occurs as out of memory in eigenvalue solver.

If this is a 3-D model, you may very well be running out of memory. PBCs on a 3-D model require a great deal of memory (mine usually need more than 32GB of physical memory) and special considerations to the meshing. What are your machine specs?
