How to calculate surface area corresponding to each surface mesh node in FEM using COMSOL?

11 November 2018 0 5K Report

Consider an arbitrary surface mesh (meshed with triangles/quads) with variable roughness/curvature of surface leading to a size distribution of (small/big) mesh elements.

It is possible to select parts of the surface by their IDs or conditional expressions but if local surface area corresponding to each individual node is sought, then how to do it in COMSOL?
