Time varying load in transient PDE

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi Everybody,

I would like to use the sinusoidal time varying load: sin(pi*t/6) in the simulation for transient PDE.
How to use the time in defining the load?

Thanks in advance.
Rakesh

Hi

normally for a transient you set up your load as F=F0*sin(2*pi*f), but mostly when you work with sinus load you shoul use the harmonic mode, where one uses the Fourier space
Good luck

Ivar,

I am using PDE general form to model the system. How to use the harmonic mode in general form?
Is there any way to use the solution time 't' in the equation ?

Thanks,
Rakesh
