SUMMARY

COMSOL Multiphysics is often perceived as providing unrealistic solutions for time-domain wave problems, particularly in mechanical wave simulations. In contrast, users report better performance and accuracy in frequency-domain analyses. The discussion highlights the need for benchmarking and verification of simulations to ensure reliability, especially when dealing with elastic vibration problems in two-dimensional solids.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of COMSOL Multiphysics software
  • Knowledge of wave equations and their applications
  • Familiarity with time-domain and frequency-domain analysis
  • Experience with benchmarking simulation results
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore COMSOL Multiphysics documentation on time-domain vs. frequency-domain analysis
  • Learn about benchmarking techniques for validating simulation results
  • Investigate alternative software for wave problem simulations
  • Study the principles of elastic vibration in two-dimensional solids
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, engineers, and simulation specialists working with wave problems in COMSOL, particularly those focused on mechanical wave analysis and simulation validation.

COMSOL gives me the impression that it always gives unrealistic solutions in time domain for wave problems, say mechanical waves or simply solutions of a wave equation. In frequency domain, COMSOL works better for wave problems. Anybody agrees?

That’s interesting. Have you tried running some benchmark problems or verifying these simulations in some other way ?

not really though. one can spend 5mins running an elastic vibration problem of a 2D solid in time domain, and there's never correct solutions.
