Hello all, my name is Kabilan Sripathy. I am a little new to COMSOL and I am having some basic trouble with making a model. I want to simulate the ray intensity through a crystal rod placed at the focus of a solar concentrator. It would be great to simulate the whole 3D rod where I could extract the ray intensity at any slice, but predefining slices is also a ok. I have been following the solar dish reciver example given by COMSOL.

It shows nicely how to plot the accumulated heat at the surface of the rod. However I would also like to plot the ray intensity throughout slices of the rod.
I have attached my modified file so far. Please let me know if you can help me with this :)
Cheers
