AC/DC module time harmonic analysis

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi.

I am trying to model the following problem and need some help from you.
I have a nonlinear system which is dependent on the electric field.
I have 2 electrodes in my model which I want to drive them at 2 different AC voltages wich have different frequencies (I am using AC/DC module, time harmonic analysis). I am wondering if there is a way to do that in this module. The desired frequency I can set in "Application scalar variables", but it gives only a possibility to make achoice of one frequency (so both electrodes will be drive at the same frequency).
I would appreciate a lot if somebody could help me on this.
Thanks in advance
Karen

Karen,

this is not possible. If your system was linear you could do two seperate harmonic studies and add the solutions, but in the non-linear case you will have to go for a time-explicit study.

Cheers

Thanks Edgar. It will complicate my modeling but it seems I have no choice
