Plotting initial conditions

I have a transient model consisting of several domains, and each domain has a prescribed initial value (in my case, it is an initial magnetic potential).
I would like to visualize these initial conditions as a plot, but before any consistent stabilization is applied, therefore I cannot simply plot the solution at time zero.
The initial values are prescribed in Initial Values nodes in the Magnetic Fields interface, therefore I would expect to be able to write an expression that plots these values, for example "mf.init1..."
However I'm not quite certain how to reference these values in an expression. It would be convenient if such an operator was already defined in COMSOL.
If not, I think I can construct a single expression for the whole model using the domain number conditional, but I simply don't know how to reference the values contained in the initial value nodes.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
If it helps, I set the initial values using the LiveLink interface as follows:
model.physics('mf').feature('init2').set('A', {'0'; '2'; '0'})
Thanks!
