Integrate PDEs in Femlab - Get Help Here

In summary, the conversation discusses the integration of equations in Femlab. The first speaker is asking for help with integrating three PDEs and two coupled equations in integral format. The second speaker asks for clarification on whether the integration is for analysis or post-processing. The first speaker clarifies that it is for their main equation, which is coupled with their PDE equation and involves two variables that change with respect to time. The second speaker suggests using integration coupling variables and mentions the availability of manuals for reference.

Hi,
I have three PDEs plus 2 coupled eq in integral format. does anyone know how to do the integration in Femlab?
Thanks

Hi Mery, are you after introducing an integral of some quantity in the analysis or "just" integrating something for post-processing or such? For the former, integration coupling variables might do the trick, for the latter, the post-processing integration commands ("meshintegrate", "postint") would be usable.

Hi PerennialII,
Is not for post processing. It's my main equation which is coupled with my PDE eq. in my PDE I have to variables call C and q which both of them change with respect to time and for q I have another eq which is in integral format and is kind of averaging over the radius.
Thanks for your help

Sounds like could try to implement it using integration coupling variables, i.e. can define an integral over a domain/surface/edge and use (project) the resulting variable to your another equation and its domain. You've access to the manuals?
