When this feature is used in conjunction with a Sector Symmetry feature on connected boundaries, wherever the sector symmetry boundaries connect with the periodic boundaries, the same periodic condition feature cannot be used on both sides. At least two periodic condition features are required for the model to compute correctly.
|
The software usually automatically identifies the boundaries as either source boundaries or destination boundaries, as indicated in the selection list. This works fine for cases like opposing parallel boundaries. In other cases, right-click Periodic Condition and select Manual Destination Selection to control the destination. By default it contains the selection that COMSOL Multiphysics identifies.

Continuity to make the potential periodic (equal on the source and destination).

•
|
Antiperiodicity to make it antiperiodic.

Floquet periodicity (only available with products supporting piezoelectric modeling). Specify the components of the k-vector for Floquet periodicity kF (SI unit: rad/m).
