Set sin function in my heat flux boundary condition

Hello Guys,

I do not know how I can set a function in my boundary condition rather than a scalar. I need to define my wall's heat flux as a function of time which is almost like a sin function. I am sure the COMSOL should be able to handle that, but I do not know how!

Thank you

Ehsan

Re: Set sin function in my heat flux boundary condition

Hi

I would try to multiply the heat source value (amplitude) by a "*sin(2*pi*t)" factor.

But as "t" is only defined in "transient mode" you would get an error message if you switch to back to stationary, without supressing it again.

Good luck
Ivar
