Phase of the loads in a frequency response analysis

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam


Hi,

I am simulating an axisymmetric circular capacitive membrane model where I use electrostatics(emes), pressure acoustics(acpr), moving mesh and stress-strain(acaxi) modes. I am obtaining wrong frequency responses around the resonance frequency and I have doubts about the phase of the loads I am entering when coupling these physics together.

For instance, electrostatics mode produce the electrostatic forces Fes_nTr_emes and Fes_nTz_emes. I apply these forces to the electrode in stress-strain mode. The obtained result is true in a static analysis but it fails around the resonance freq. for a frequency response analysis as I mentioned. I realized that I might be entering only the amplitudes of the force phasors, not the phases. What I do is

Quantity, Value Value
Fr, Frph Fes_nTr_emes 0 N/m^2, deg
Fz, Fzph Fes_nTz_emes 0 N/m^2, deg

but the correct one should be something lik this, if I am not mistaken,

Quantity, Value Value
Fr, Frph abs(Fes_nTr_emes) angle(Fes_nTr_emes) N/m^2, deg
Fz, Fzph abs(Fes_nTz_emes) angle(Fes_nTr_emes) N/m^2, deg


Does anyone have any idea about this ?

Thanks,
