MATLAB: How to update the PDE toolbox with the real measurement

Question

Hi,

I am working on a structural analysis with the PDE toolbox. I would like to update (or change) the value (displacement of a certain point) at a certain time (or at every iteration) during the simulation process? Does anyone know if the pde toolbox can realize this? Do I need to write a function file when defining the load condition?

Thank you so much.

You can specify the displacement as a function, look at the the end of the the structualBC doc page. However, note that PDE Toolbox does not support nonlinear analysis if that is what you are aiming to acheive using experimental data.
