Hi
List all discussions
I simulate electric fields in high-voltage switchgear.
My aim is to simulate the influence of time dependent voltage namely Full Lightening
Impulse 1,2/50 us.
It has form shown on the fig. 1 in following document:

first of all see with your rep or sysadmin, and update to the latest version, there are
many weaknesses in the early 4.0,
then for such a pulse why not write out the pulse shape as a smooth (1-2 derivable)
analytical function, and multiply your peak voltage by this function of the time "t".
Then select a time range covering correctly the pulse, and use a "time step"
definition such as Intermediate or strict (not automatic), I believe that would work
better, but your single pulse could perhaps also use automatic, as it has a long decay
shape. And for me off you go ;)

Good luck

In Comsol 3.4 and 3.5a this function worked fine but I didn't use this formulation in
Comsol 4.
Hello Roman,
Did you able to successfully simulate the full LI in comsol? If yes would you please
let me know the parameters? I was also trying to do but without any success.
Good Day!

Hallo. The impulse voltage shape for 1,2/50 us can be successfully set in Comsol 4
in Global Definition with help of Functions->Analytic. Here the Argument is time "t".
For checking your impulse shape just click "plot". In the Magnetic and Electric Field
study (mef) u should use Terminal for injection of this voltage impulse. If function
name is impulseShape then in Terminal it should be putted impulseShape(t). Also
dont forget about redefining your steps under study sets.
