Initial conditions steadystate problem completely determined by bc. Other conditions, like film coefficient and heat flux, define the interchange of energy between the model and its surroundings. In most physical problems these are boundary conditions, that describes how the system behaves on its boundaries for all times and initial conditions, that specify the state of the system for an initial time t 0. Unless the enhanced procedure is used, the initial state of stress must be close to being in equilibrium with the applied loads and boundary conditions.

A boundary value problem is a differential equation or system of differential equations to be solved in a domain on whose boundary a set of conditions is known.
Second, to distinguish between the problems based on initial and boundary condition. Before you create boundary conditions, you need to create a pdemodel container. The information in this chapter is divided into the following sections. Geostatic stress state massachusetts institute of technology.

Boundary conditions are those which depends on space while initial conditions are depends on time. The governing equations for the velocity and pressure fields are partial differential equations that are applicable at every point in a fluid that is being modeled as a continuum. For details, see solve problems using pdemodel objects. To define a problem that results in a unique solution, you must specify information on the dependent flow variables at the domain boundaries. There are two types of boundary condition, those on displacement and those on. An initial condition is like a boundary condition, but then for the timedirection.
It is opposed to the initial value problem, in which only the conditions on. Use functions when you cannot express your boundary conditions by constant input arguments.

Boundary value problems for second order differential. Initlalvalue problems for ordinary differential equations. Initial value and boundary value difference a more mathematical way to picture the difference between an initial value problem and a boundary value problem is that an initial value problem has all of the conditions specified at the same value of the independent variable in the equation and that value is at the lower boundary of the domain, thus the term initial value.
