unexpected unit of input in solid mechanic

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello, all. I want to simulate dynamic problem with adding physics of "solid mechanic" and study of " time-dependent". I want to setup boundary load with 25*sin(w*t), where "w" is frequency, which is 0.75 [s-1]; however, it show "unexpected unit of input".
Did anyone one know what unit is conflict with time ( t[s] ) in solid mechanic?

Careful! In 3D, by default, w is the displacement in the z direction, and its dimension is a length. Better pick some other name for your angular frequency!
Besides, 2*cos(omega*t) is a scalar, whereas 2[N/m^2]*cos(omega*t) is a pressure.

Hi
using the version 5.2, in the variable expression i try to use sinh(phi) or cosh(phi) and give them a name , the unit of (phi) is the volt wich is the variable of electrostatic module, but the color is orange and show ''unexpected unit of input'' so i can't use it in boundary condition ad i can't solve my problem
Appreciate much for your help!!
