Hi!

I am wondering if I can define an absorbing boundary condition for a transient ultrasonic wave propagation problem (let's say in a 2D plane strain transient module). The option certainly doesn't come up in the boundary conditions pulldown menu. I wonder if there is a trick.

Thanks!

Deb

Hi,

What you are looking for is the "Low-Reflecting Boundary" which should be available for 2D Plain Strain as long as you have either the Structural Mechanics, MEMS or Acoustics Module. A PML can only be used in frequency domain analyses.

Hi Henrik,

How do you apply PML in structural mechanics module? I am doing a modal analysis and only see 'Low reflection boundary' option.

Thanks,
Gyani

Hi,

You select a domain as PML under Component->Definitions.

Regards.

Hi Henrik,

It is true that the PML is only available in frequency domain analyses. Could you please explain the reason? And what should I deal with the reflection by the boundary if I work on the transient process, like pulse scattering? Thank you very much.

Best,
Shengli

Solved. Just right click on the Defiinition (Component -> Definition -> Right Click).
