Hello COMSOL helpers,
I am having two problems with my model--one concerning utilizing symmetry conditions, and the other being parameterizing a surface for an optimization study.
Symmetry:
I intend on using symmetry to cut down the model's compute time. However, I am unsure if I am doing this correctly because it uses multiphysics and I'm confused when I use the condition on the solid boundaries. Could some consult on this?
Parameterizing the surface:
In optimization examples online, surfaces are parameterized in the 2-D axisymmetric coordinate systems. In my model, I don't have that eligibility but would like to parameterize a whole surface to take on different shapes with freedom in three dimensions. I imagine this would involve parametric equations, but I do not know how to implement those in COMSOL--does anyone have an example I could look at?

I had trouble attaching it because it was too big. It is 7MB.
