How to use complex values in interpolation function?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, everyone,

I want to use an interpolation function as the boundary condition in my calculation. The discreted points
are complex, (here in my model, is the complex input electricmagnetic field). However, when I set the interpolation
function, I got an error "a complex constant was encountered during expression evaluation".

Anyone can tell me how to solve this problem or if I should use some other method to set that boundary condition?
Thank you!

Set your complex function as two different functions for real and imaginary parts. This should work.
