Same model, different results

Hello, I am relatively new to COMSOL and am trying to run a study to see if there will be harmonic motion in my model. When I run the time-dependent study with the time being range(0,.01,4)[ms], I see some good harmonic motion. When I run it at range(0,.01,8)[ms], the harmonic motion is not there anymore (even in the 0 to 4 ms range where it showed up earlier). Nothing in the model changes. The only difference is a longer range of study. Why would this cause my solution to have completely different results?

Hi Josh,

Short answer: It's because the initial time step taken by the solver depends on the final time you give.

Best,

Jeff
