Frequency Domain Study

Hi,
I'm starting to use Comsol and I'm trying to do a frequency domain study on a poroelastic material subject to a sinusoidal load which frequency is in the range 1 to 100 Hz. My problem is that I don't know how to define this periodic load, can someone please help me?
Thanks,
Greta

I was struggling with as well with acoustics, but I concluded that if you do a frequency domain study COMSOL assumes that loads on your system are in a sinusoidal frequency.

Hi

the external loads / forces you apply are ALL considered as amplitudes (might be complex) of the frequency span, and the frequency is defined in the solver node, as a value or a range

This is the default way for harmonic developments, check the equation tab of the main physics nodes

Good luck

Hi Ivar,
thanks for your help. I checked the equations of the frequency domain and, from what I understand, the frequency study considers as periodic only Fv ( a body load) while I'd like to simulate a periodic boundary load. In fact, I'm trying to simulate the effect of an indentation test on the poroelastic material. Can you please tell me how to reach this goal?
Thanks,
Greta

Hi

Normally all loads are "harmonic", not only body loads, also boundary loads. Check carefully, and i.e. make a simple example to get convinced
