The General Extrusion operator maps expressions defined on a source to an expression that can be evaluated on any destination geometry where the destination map expressions are valid. Your internet explorer is in compatibility mode and may not be displaying the website correctly. In the COMSOL multiphysics user guide you can find a better explanation of how to use the general projection operator. For circular periodicity, a rotation matrix, not a linear shift, must be used in the destination map. The player button feature allows you to see all the excavation depth results in one animation. General Extrusions, Inc. produces aluminum extrusions in compliance with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements. Click replace expression and go to solid mechanics, displacement, and choose total displacement. As in Example 1, we enter the expression on the right-hand side in the destination map. It is also possible to define the mapping in terms of coordinate systems. Hi To implement, define a General Extrusion operator on a boundary parallel to the xy-plane, with the z-expression blank for both the Source Map and a Destination Map. we first need to invert the expression L=\frac{x_s}{2}\sqrt{1+4(\frac{x_s}{d})^2}+\frac{d}{4}\ln(2\frac{x_s}{d}+\sqrt{1+4(\frac{x_s}{d})^2}) and write x_s in terms of L. Thats no fun at all! When expanded it provides a list of search options that will switch the search inputs to match the current selection. Thank you for your time. At any given time, the (x, y, z) coordinates of this point are given by: (0.5[in]*cos(t), 0.5[in]*sin(t), 2.75e-4[m]), where is the angular velocity of the rotating wafer disk. How did you select the source in the general extrusion settings? I apologize of my explanation sounds vague or ambiguous. Add depth as the continuation parameter, and click the range button. Here, V refers to the electric potential at a point on the bottom side, while genext1(V) refers to the electric potential vertically on the top side. A little calculus gives us the arc length of the parabola between the origin and the source point (x,y). FIGURE 1. The relationship between the source and destination points is therefore, If we want an explicit source-destination mapping of the form. The rest of the boundary loads will describe the three struts. Disp is defined as one of three different scalars (0,1.5,3 mm) as per the fourth figure. A retaining wall is used to hold back soil from a region you dont want it to move to, such as a lower level of the ground. A similar boundary condition is used on the bottom side of the junction. We have discussed how the General Extrusion component coupling can be used to set up a linear pattern of a periodic solution as part of a multiphysics analysis. Using a General Extrusion operator to refer to the electric potential at a point on the other side of the junction. Thanks for replying. I will always remember a Geotechnical Engineering class I took during the pursuit of my Civil Engineering degree. In our earlier blog post on Linear Extrusion operators, we considered an affine mapping that pairs up points 1, 4, and 2 in the source domain to points 1, 5, and 3 in the destination domain. I have only one small question, if you dont mind, you could maybe write the expressions of the variable disp. Considering a variable defined on the xy-plane within a unit square centered at the origin, as shown above, it is possible to implement a variety of transforms simply via different destination maps, and leaving the source map unchanged. For this example, we will be modeling in 2D plane strain, using the solid mechanics interface and a stationary study. Online Support Center: https://www.comsol.com/support Rename this one Strut_2. If you have already computed the solution to the finite element problem, then you can simply evaluate temperature at the destination points by clicking on the update solution option in the Study toolbar, or you can dynamically probe the variable genext1(T) evaluated at a point while you compute the solution to the finite element problem. Temperature evaluated at a point on the rotating wafer. I need to obtain a whole bunch of data in the variables section, ef., Mass fraction, Density and others. Oftentimes, however, we may not have explicit expressions. Because the source and destination objects have different dimensions, affine transformations are impossible. The flow solution on this unit cell is also plotted, as shown below. I am trying to implement the Periodic Boundary condition in a 3D model by following your post but I have some questions. Submit feedback about this page or contact support here. General Extrusions is owned and run by the Schuler family. You can learn more about the use of projection operators in this previous blog post. Rename the third strut to finish off the physics set up. The Linear Extrusion operator defines a linear extrusion that maps between geometric parts of the same dimension. In this example, since the x, y, and z-coordinates of the destination map are explicitly specified without any association with the coordinates of a geometric entity, it doesnt matter where we evaluate the General Extrusion coupling operator. I would appreciate any help. Currently we are ISO 9001 certified. The top and bottom surfaces are thermally insulated, and there are no heat sources. I didn't mean to do integration, what i meant is something like: General extrusion is one way to couple. I suppose by point 2 you are referring to the second plot. The ramp location is set to be -U_max. For affine relations, General Extrusion operators can be used as an alternative to Linear Extrusion operators. Several cases are illustrated in the table below. Note that V refers to the electric potential at a point on the top side while genext2(V) refers to the electric potential vertically on the bottom side. The incident heat flux from the laser is modeled as spatially varying, with time varying coordinates for the location of the incident heat flux. listed if standards is not an option). Extrusion operators can be used to make couplings between points in the same component or different components. Both source and destination are two-dimensional, as well as the intermediate mesh (srcdim = idim = dstdim). This will allow you to compare different cross-sectional data and evaluate measures such as maximum, minimum, and average over several cross sections. Select the top strut and then total force as the load type. Such devices feature small channels that are filled with fluids carrying different chemical species. listed if standards is not an option). \rho C_{p} \frac{\partial T}{\partial t} + \rho C_{p} \mathbf{u} \cdot \nabla T = \nabla \cdot (k \nabla T). Given an expression defined on a plane, e.g., the xy-plane, it is desired to map this data along the z direction. In 4.0a, I can define a general extrusion coupling, and the source domain is applies to. In addition to simply copying known quantities, these operators can be used to create nonlocal couplings between unknown variables, as illustrated in our p-n junction example. Lets consider a point on the disk at a distance of 0.5 inches from the center of the disk located at (0,0). I hope I have not missed it. To evaluate the temperature at the destination coordinates, you can call the General Extrusion coupling operator with a temperature argument, as genext1(T), where T is the dependent variable name for Temperature. The General Extrusion operator maps expressions defined on a source to an expression that can be evaluated on any destination geometry where the destination map expressions are valid. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions! General Extrusions, Inc. continues its tradition as a leading manufacturer of aluminum extrusions where quality always comes first. One option involves a sweep of the geometry, removing the geometry (excavation) one step at a time. This computed flow field can then be used as input for the convection-diffusion equation governing the species concentration. Given an expression defined on a plane, e.g., the xy-plane, it is desired to map this data along the z direction. It is also possible to define the mapping in terms of coordinate systems. Adding a General Extrusion coupling operator.The green vector field is the transport term used to model the wafer rotation. An initial stress is added to the model as well to simulate the in-situ stresses in the x, y, and z directions. Check out our Deep Excavation Model for more information. Shu Heng Khor . Mapping of data defined on a cross section (left) around an axis of symmetry and into a volume (right). point 2 there simply involves time varying coordinates of the focal point of the laser beam in the example model : http://www.comsol.com/model/laser-heating-of-a-silicon-wafer-13835. To add a General Extrusion operator, we go to Definitions > Component Couplings > General Extrusion. In practice, COMSOL Multiphysics does not construct an analytic expression for the inverse of the source map. Once the model has finished computing we can add some post processing to better view the results. A pressure constraint at a single point is used to gauge fix the pressure field. For example, if the intermediate mesh is in 2D space, there is no z-expression field. The upper layer soil, the lower layer soil, and the retaining wall. Forming an assembly creates an identity pair between the wall soil and wall diaphragm boundaries. Add a second distribution for the bottom boundary, and enter 2 for the number of elements. It can be used for a variety of different purposes, examples of which are presented here. Lets now explore how to use a General Extrusion operator to copy data from a 2D axisymmetric component to a 3D component, such that the source and destination points correspond to the same point in space. The General Extrusion operator will map data from the boundary into the volume, along the z direction, as shown in the following screenshots. so we choose 0.6 to be on the safe side. Settings used to map data from a boundary parallel to the xy-plane along the z direction. The General Extrusion operator will map data from the boundary into the volume, along the z direction, as shown in the following screenshots. listed if standards is not an option). For the y-axis data, the expression is y, and for the x axis, the expression is u, with millimeters as units. This variable should only exist on the . We are then looking at the problem of evaluating the temperature at a point that follows the rotating wafer material. Center: Temperature along the parabola. Schematic of a microfluidic mixer that depicts the repeated unit cell and the inlet and outlet zones. For example, to map data from a boundary around a centerline, introduce a cylindrical system, and use those coordinate system variables to define the source and destination map. Next, lets take a look at the settings of the General Extrusion coupling operator. Using a General Extrusion operator to copy data from the 2D axisymmetric domain to the corresponding 3D domain. The General Extrusion operator maps expressions defined on a source to an expression that can be evaluated on any destination geometry where the destination map expressions are valid. For clarity, we did not use this trick here. Right: Temperature mapped from the parabola to the domain. Alle Rechte vorbehalten. We want an operator that will copy from a point on the parabola to a point in the square, such that the distance of the destination point from the origin is equal to the length of the segment of the parabola between the origin and the source point. Consider thermal expansion with axisymmetric thermal boundary conditions and material properties. Your internet explorer is in compatibility mode and may not be displaying the website correctly. \frac{x_s}{2}\sqrt{1+4(\frac{x_s}{d})^2}+\frac{d}{4}\ln(2\frac{x_s}{d}+\sqrt{1+4(\frac{x_s}{d})^2}) = \sqrt{x_d^2+y_d^2}. I tried to use your method but I failed. Standard and precision custom aluminum extrusions in 3000 and 6000 series alloys; Complete aluminum extrusion components including your finish requirements. We can tag the different sides as 1 and 2, as illustrated in the figure below. With a voltage terminal at the bottom of the device and ground at the top of the device, the following results are obtained. Take a look at the figure below. In this example, a 26-meter excavation is modeled by means of a parametric sweep, with a step size of 2 meters. I guess your problem is that there is no recalculation after defining genext1, and this error will not be prompted after the calculation. I have the other model, where i would need this variable u, but this time, it is a 2D model, non time dependent. We want a depth ranging from 0 to -26 meters with a step size of two meters. Now that the velocity field is defined throughout the modeling domain, the species concentration at the inlet is defined via the Inflow boundary condition. Settings used to map data from a boundary parallel to the xy-plane along the z direction. Version 4.1 The velocity field is given by u and v, the fluid velocity in the x and y-directions, respectively. Several cases are illustrated in the table below. General Extrusions is engaged in fabrication, anodizing, and powder coating, as well as aluminum finishing and machining. All you need are the time-dependent coordinates of the point where you would like to evaluate the temperature. A prescribed displacement is also needed for the wall_soil boundary created earlier. The working fluid is water with properties defined at room temperature and pressure. Settings for the General Extrusion operator defined on the stator boundary. The species concentration (shown in color) is solved in all three repeating domains. One option is to use the General Extrusion coupling operator. This worked perfectly for a point moving on a surface. In this blog post, we will take a look at how to use the General Extrusion coupling operator to probe a solution at a point in your geometry, and illustrate how to implement a dynamic probe using an example model. Mapping of data defined on a boundary (left) along the direction normal to the plane and into a volume (right). Discussion Closed This discussion was created more than 6 months ago and has been closed. Please can you explain what I am doing wrong? When building the mapping, it is important to ask the following question: Given the coordinates of the destination point, how do we go to the source point? They are not necessarily pertaining to the x or y coordinates in the source or destination. Multiscale Modeling in High-Frequency Electromagnetics, 2023 by COMSOL. L=\frac{x_s}{2}\sqrt{1+4(\frac{x_s}{d})^2}+\frac{d}{4}\ln(2\frac{x_s}{d}+\sqrt{1+4(\frac{x_s}{d})^2}), we introduced you to Linear Extrusion operators, earlier blog post on Linear Extrusion operators, Using the General Extrusion Coupling Operator in COMSOL: Dynamic Probe, Using General Extrusion Operators to Model Rotation, Using General Extrusion Operators to Model Periodic Structures, Submodeling: How to Analyze Local Effects in Large Models, Postprocessing Local Data Using Component Coupling, Multiscale Modeling in High-Frequency Electromagnetics. If excavating close to a retaining wall, youre subjecting it to additional forces it was not originally designed for, and it may require subsequent support. Take a look at the figure below. This button displays the currently selected search type. To map the solution from one domain into the other domains that are offset by a known displacement along the x-axis, the destination map uses the expression x-Disp for the x-expression. They appear in the Input faces list. Box 3488 Youngstown, OH 44513. This works and solution time is reduced to 118s so much more in line with the case without gaps! Instead, at every destination point, it first evaluates T_d(x_d,y_d) and carries out a mesh search operation to find the point on the source where this evaluation matches T_s(x_s,y_s). This approach, as explained earlier, is limited to cases in which the source and destination are related by affine transformations. It contained both the high and low points for that academic semester; the lab portion was a lot of fun, learning about (read: playing with) the different soils and clays existing in the state of Georgia. (For reference: the model is approx. The first boundary load is added for the horizontal soil boundaries. This problem can be solved by using a General Extrusion coupling operator to dynamically map the solution at a particular point (moving or stationary) onto a fixed source. The General Extrusion operator maps expressions defined on a source to an expression that can be evaluated on any destination geometry where the destination map expressions are valid. Click the player button again to view all the parameter values in succession. An example of defining such a rotation matrix is detailed in this previous blog post. The periodic velocity field, indicated by the arrows, is solved in one domain and mapped into the others. This site is under development. The time varying coordinates of the point at which we want to evaluate the temperature can be entered as the coordinates of the destination map. Thank you Walter for a wonderful discussion. Therefore, only a single operator is needed to map the velocity field into all of the domains. x_s = ax_d + by_d + e, \qquad y_s = cx_d + dy_d + f. r_s = \sqrt{x_d^2 + y_d^2}, \qquad z_s = z_d. You can fix this by pressing 'F12' on your keyboard, Selecting 'Document Mode' and choosing 'standards' (or the latest version Now that the velocity field is defined throughout the modeling domain, the species concentration at the inlet is defined via the Inflow boundary condition. All points in the domain with the same distance from the origin copy temperature from the same point on the parabola. Currently we are ISO 9001 certified. Extrusion operators are used to construct pointwise relations between source and destination points. Since there is no displacement in the y-direction, the y-expression is set at its default y. The default plot shows the von Mises stress. Thus, two extrusion operators are required. Now we can add the boundary constraints, including a symmetry on the left, a fixed constraint for the bottom boundary, and a roller for the right boundaries. Lets begin by looking at a microfluidic device, as shown below. The settings for this feature are illustrated below. Hi, We begin by adding the General Extrusion coupling operator from the definitions toolbar as shown in the screenshot below: The General Extrusion operator maps expressions defined on a source to an expression that can be evaluated on any destination geometry where the destination map expressions are valid. Here, we will demonstrate how to accomplish this using the General Extrusion component couplings in COMSOL Multiphysics. To explore the use of General Extrusion operators in other types of situations, consult the following blog posts: By providing your email address, you consent to receive emails from COMSOL AB and its affiliates about the COMSOL Blog, and agree that COMSOL may process your information according to its Privacy Policy. Your internet explorer is in compatibility mode and may not be displaying the website correctly. If we know this ahead of time, it is possible to exploit the periodicity to reduce computational requirements. comsol.com The same transforms can be implemented in three dimensions. Ce consentement peut tre retir tout moment. Welcome to General Extrusions Inc. The General Extrusion operator maps expressions defined on a source to an expression that can be evaluated on any destination geometry where the destination map expressions are valid. Now we will use the operators in the physics nodes to implement the boundary conditions. I deplore the glaring oversight of COMSOL: Considering how frequently one encounters problems that include a combination of Rotationally-Symmetric and Cartesian components, that COMSOL has not seen fit to provide a specific operator for this case! Then the naming and differentiation between time and spatial variables is basically a convention issue, the math behind does not really change Now that we know how to find the corresponding coordinates of the source point, given any point (x,y) in the destination, we enter the right-hand side of the above equation (without the subscripts) in the destination map of the General Extrusion settings window. Two boundary selections have been created and renamed wall_diaphragm and wall_soil. -- You can fix this by pressing 'F12' on your keyboard, Selecting 'Document Mode' and choosing 'standards' (or the latest version All selected faces must lie in the same plane. General Extrusions, Inc. can provide complete aluminum extrusion components including your finish requirements. CNC Machining for Aluminum Extrusions. Mapping of data defined on a cross section (left) around an axis of symmetry and into a volume (right). Temperature evaluated at a point on the geometry corresponding to the focal point of the moving laser. For example, to map data from a boundary around a centerline, introduce a cylindrical system, and use those coordinate system variables to define the source and destination map. Now suppose we would like to evaluate the temperature at one point of the rotating wafer. We were the 1st North American Aluminum Extruder to achieve ISO 9002 Certification. There are four sets of results showing the deformation of the soil and retaining wall, the plastic deformation, wall deflection, and the surface settlement. The components of this velocity field are now defined in all of the repeated domains via the General Extrusion operator: genext1(u) and genext1(v), respectively. In this example, one expression is sufficient enough to uniquely relate any destination point in the square domain to a source point on the parabolic curve. Several cases are illustrated in the table below. Data transfer between components is performed using the COMSOL built-in "General Extrusion" coupling operator, and the iterative study steps are controlled using "For" and "End For" nodes in COMSOL. Your internet explorer is in compatibility mode and may not be displaying the website correctly. listed if standards is not an option). One option involves a sweep of the geometry, removing the geometry (excavation) one step at a time. The geometry has been previously created for this model, but all the steps are outlined in the model file to build the upper and lower layers of the soil, as well as the retaining wall and three embedded struts. It is also possible to define the mapping in terms of coordinate systems. To implement, define a General Extrusion operator on a boundary parallel to the xy-plane, with the z-expression blank for both the Source Map and a Destination Map.
