an AC problem, about "The DAE is structurally inconsistent"

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello everyone


I want to apply a sine voltage source to a piezoelectric ceramic. it's a model of COMSOL named"thickness_shear_quartz_oscillator.mph". the model works well but when I change the AC source to sine source, set the frequency 50Hz, same as AC. error occurs:

The DAE is structurally inconsistent

Variabels 2
Equation 0

you can see the model in the model library, hope you can help me

Thanks in Advance

it's a problem with the study. you can use sin(φ) for voltage source and frequency domain study and vice versa. I encounter this problem when I work on AC/DC module on the "Electric circuit" . this generalize to all the sources and studies.

so i recommend you follow this pattern when solving

DC source -> stationary study
AC '' -> frequency domain
Sin (t/T) -> time dependent
