Explicit Solver in math mode

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I want to try the explicit solver to solve a problem that is easily solved by the Time-Dependant solver.
The equation to be solved on a 1D interval is :

test(ux^2), where u is the variable.

The initial condition is u(t=0)=0.

There are to Dirichlet boundary conditions : u(1)=0 and u(2)=10*t

The Time-Dependant solver gave the expected solution : at t=1, u(2)=10.

But using the explicit solver with the default settings leads to this error message :

"Explicit time stepping requires linear time-independent constraints"

I don't understand what it means. Do you have any ideas ?

Thanks !

Support answered me that in Dirichlet Boundary Conditions, the time parameter "t" can't be used.
(With the time dependent solver i used " t " in order to apply a loading that increases with time)
