First, I want to determine the gradient at all the boundary nodes. Is this possible using the toolbox? Second, I want to use these gradient values as an input boundary condition for the same boundary to solve a different equation (same geometry). Is this possible to do using the toolbox? Thanks.

Hi Bill,
I think I figured this out. I declared my additional data as global variables. Thanks.
