Incident pressure field, can't set frequency?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all,

I am trying to apply pressure waves to a mass contained in a closed volume in order to make it vibrate. So far I got it to vibrate, but I can't seem to find a way to set the frequency of the waves. Is there any way to set the frequency of the applied waves?

I can add my model if that can clear things up more.

Thanks in advance.

are using frequency domain or eigen frequency ??

I am using a time dependent study

Hi

It is not exactly clear how your model looks, but if it is a structure surrounded by a fluid then you should do as follows:

1) Use the multiphysics coupling to couple the solid and fluid
2) Add a radiation condition at he exterior boundary of the fluid
3) Add an incident field to the radiation condition
4) Define an incoming wave of the type: sin(2*pi*f0*t-k0*x) - in this case a wave moving in the x-direction. f0 is the frequency you would like to use, and k0 the wave number. Define these as Parameters for example.

I suggest you look in the documentation for the radiation condition and the incident field features, or just turn on the dynamic help by clicking F1.
