Dear All,
I am trying to define the dispersion curves of a periodic unit cell in COMSOL Multiphysics with prescribed displacements. I am using two separate studies:
- Study 1: Stationary, with prescribed displacements on the four edges of the unit cell.
- Study 2: Eigenfrequency.
I intend to use the results of Study 1 as initial conditions for Study 2.
I also conducted a different eigenfrequency study of the same unit cell, and the dispersion curves from Study 2 and this separate study are similar. This suggests that the results from Study 1 may not have been used as initial conditions for Study 2.
The following figures illustrate my setup. Could I be missing any setup errors?
Thank you in advance

Study 1 (Stationary) setup: I turn off Floquet-periodic BCs in study 1)
Deformed shape of the unit cell from Study 1:
Floquet-periodic BCs along x direction:
Floquet-periodic BCs along z direction:
Study 2(Eigenfrequency) setup:
Study 2 setup (Turn off "Solved for" of study 1):
Dispersion curves from Study 2:
An eigenmode from Study 2:
A different eigenfrequency study(without prescribed displacements) set up:
Dispersion curves from the different eigenfrequency study:
An eigenmode the different eigenfrequency study:
