I have doubt regarding heat source term.

I am writing terms like following, but heat source is not available for later time....

heat source term is:

10e5*(t>=1.000000e-006)*(t<=1.000010e-006)+10e5*(t>=2.000000e-006)*(t<=2.000010e-006)+10e5*(t>=3.000000e-006)*(t<=3.000010e-006)

and time step:

range(1.000000e-006,1e-12,1.000010e-006) range(2.000000e-006,1e-12,2.000010e-006) range(3.000000e-006,1e-12,3.000010e-006)

Please gibe suggestion regarding how to put heat source term to get it in every mention time steps.

Thank you very much

Regards,
Chirag

Hi

what about using a (or several) step function/operator, or a piecewise integration in this way you make smooth transitions, that would help the solver to integrate over the steps.

Then for the ranges , I do not know of any other way, and a repeat(..) does not (yet?) exist, just define a series of ranges, with small steps around the transition and larger steps in between.

note if you have "jumps" like with the bolean function the solver will have some issues jumping from one step to the next

Good luck
