Hello,

I am doing a Harmonic Analysis, but what I really want to is to apply a frequency sweep but with different boundary loads for each frequency.

Does anyone know if this is possible.


Many thanks

Hi

the frequency sweep parameter is "freq" so why not, on a simple model you can predict analytically, you add a BC condition linked to "freq" or omega=2*pi*freq

Good luck

Thanks Ivar,

I am still not clear on how to implement this. Instead of carrying out separate runs at each frequency using different amplitudes, I want to tell do a parameter sweep but tell comsol at each frequency to use a different amplitude which I will supply. This will save a whole load of time. I am not sure how to actually implement this in Comsol.

Cheers

Hi

I'm not sure I catch you:

a) use a double parametrical sweep
b) define V(freq) and set up an analytical or interpolated function such that V(freq) takes the shape at the given frequency as you want
