transient analysis problem

Hello, I am trying to do the unsteady analysis of the PEMFC using the method of transient in the solve parameters.
As we know, in the constant option, we can give one value of V_cell, and use the solve parameter to get different V_cell value in order to draw the V-I curve.
But what I want to know is: how to give the changed value of V_cell by time;
such as: when time is one second, V_cell = 0.2V ; when time is two seconds,
V_cell = 0.5V; when time is three seconds, V_cell = 0.8V ......
Is there any methods to do this job?
Thanks for your time!

Hi
the crude way is to say V = V0*(t>=0)*(t<1)+V1(t>=1)*(t<2)+ ...
But this makes a stepwise system, its better to use a rect() or step() (combination of Heavyside functions in 3.5) operator with smootheened transition, its often easier for the solvers

Good luck

Thank you for your message !
But, still now I don't solve my problem..
What is stepwise system ?
what is combination of Heavyside functions ?
V = V0*(t>=0)*(t<1)+V1(t>=1)*(t<2)+ ...
this method apply for expression ?
I really don't know how to do..
Can you recommend another method in COMSOL tutorial model?
I try many times to find similer model and commend in COMSOL DOCUMENTATION PDF file..
But I can't find method.
please more specific suggest method .
Best wishes !

Hi
in V4 you ahve predefined STEP() functions that are smoothed., In 3.5 you need to call the internal Heavyside functions. Index your doc and search for Heavyside, you will find them described, then you need to combine them. You can also search on the forum for 3.5 threads, these functions were often used back in 3.5 time ;)
