There is a time dependent fuction in my model. However, in the study, the step 1 is stationary study and the next step of time dependent study is based on the solvution of the stationary study. So is there any way to solve the error of stationary study calculation due to the existence of the time dependent function? The system keeps showing undefined variable 't'

Hi Yu,
A Stationary study step does not depend on time, but you can add a parameter t defined as some time to be able to solve equations using time-dependent settings as a stationary solution for that time.

Magnus, I'm not sure how to implement this. Can you post a sample .mph or a screenshot showing the setup?

Hi Sean,
If you have an expression with "t" somewhere in your model and want to solve it using a stationary solver, you can then simply add a parameter or constant t and give it a value, such as 0. You can use a Parameters node, or you can define it as a constant in the Stationary Solver settings (see the attached screenshot).
Best regards,
Magnus
