How to apply a sinusoidal A.C current of 1 Amp using Function Editor

How to apply a sinusoidal A.C current of 1 Amp using Function Editor

How to apply a sinusoidal A.C current of 1 Amp using Function Editor

(OP)
Hi
I wish to apply a sinusoidal A.C current of 1 Amp to a thermal electrical model using function editor.

I am assuming the wave form is sinusoidal and takes the form of  

 y=A*sin(wt+teta)

A = amplitude = 1amp
w =angular frequency
teta = phase shift
t = time

I have never used Function Editor can any one help as I don’t know where to start. The one and only example in the ansys basic analysis guide in chapter 2.5.15 wasnt very helpful  to me.

Thanks

Hi,

i have not performed any electrical problem so far, but i think you can use do-loop as well :

/sol
inc = time/n
*do,i,1,time,inc
  y=A*sin(wi+teta)
  ...apply y
  solve
*enddo

Regards,
lubo
