Can i use a non uniform stiffness tensor in COMSOL ?

Hello,

I want to simulate the propagation of some guided waves in plates, with spatially dependent stiffness tensor.

Can do that with COMSOL.

Thank you in advance, I am new to COMSOL, and I want to see if it is the right software.

Hi there ,

yes you can. just define your stiffness as a function of your coordinates.

For Example, under solid mechanics, linear elastic material, instead of having the properties from material, select user define.
