      Hello all,nI want to simulate a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator DAE (an electrostatic-Structural analysis). And I want to apply various voltages and frequencies into the DEA in the form of sine wave. Any help and guidance will be much appreciated as my knowledge in MAPDL is quit limited and it is my first time to simulate DEAs.nKind Regards,n

      If you a doing a harmonic analysis, the loads are automatically applied as sinusoids. If you are doing a time transient analysis, you can apply sinusoidal loads using either a table or a function. See Section 3.5.15 and Chapter 4 of the MAPDL Basic Analysis Guide.nn
