Floquet periodicity in transient analysis

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi COMSOL forum members,
I am trying to do a periodic simulation in RF module in 2D, in transient propagation mode. I use complex numbers, i.e. excite it with a complex valued source and want to use floquet periodicity. I already checked the box allowing complex numbers in the solver options. In transient mode, there are only 2 types of periodicity: continuity and antiperiodicity. I modify the equations using weak forms, and make it floquet. This modified version works for 0 k values, which confirms my equation syntax is correct, but when I make k values non-zero, I get an error saying that 'The second argument must be real'. Is it possible to solve this complex valued time domain problem in COMSOL? (I use version 3.5a, if needed.)
Thanks in advance...
