Hi
when you start with COMSOL try to use only 1 physics at the time, test yourmodel physics by physics, once you have got the 3 fundamental physics working alone (with fixed values for the interconnections) then mix two and finally 3, else you will take long and get confused. It's certainyl quicker, I still apply it, 6 years after my first COMSOL model, and when I believe I'll manage without this ways, then I loose a day ;)
basically if you use frequency domain solver, all driving loads are amplitudes at the frequency given by the solver step(s). Try a few Model Library axamples, and check the webinars on acoustics on the web

Good luck

Hi Ivar
thanks for your reply
I tried Model Library examples, I started COMSOL by use 1 physics then I added 2 other physics. I want to know can I change intensity in my models?
this is very important for me.
Hoping for help,thanks very much!

you can use values (numbers) in any field, but also equation and expressions, so you can define a variable entryy for the heat or temperture etc.
You might make your model nn linear though

I defined external Q in bioheat equation :
Q=alfa*P^2/rho*c
that P is acoustic pressure
on the other hand I=P^2/rho*c
I cant chang "I" because its dependend on p !
I dont know what you mean!
thanks

I believe you need to explain a bit more, I probably misunderstood youre need

I want to simulate heat generation by ultrasound in tissue in different intensities and frequencies.
I mixed 3 physics for this purpose: acoustic pressure, piezo plane strain, bioheat equation.
is that true???
I have just a problem, I can't input my sightly intensity in this model!
thanks alot

If you have the possibility to upgrade to Comsol 4.3a your problem will be much easier to solve (but I believe the same procedure can be used in 3.5a). Here you first solve your acoustics and piezo problem, say in the frequency domain using the predefined Piezo-Acoustic Interaction interface. Then you solve a bio-heat-transfer problem where your heat source Q = alfa*P^2/rho*c gets the pressure from the alreaddy solved acoustics model.
