A Method to Overcome the Time Step Limitation of PC1D in Transient Excitation Mode

Abstract This paper presents a method to overcome the time step limitation of PC1D in the transient excitation mode without changing the source code of PC1D. By comparing the results obtained from PC1D using the proposed method with results obtained from a finite element analysis, the correctness of the method is confirmed. The proposed method allows simulations over long times with high time precision, which is currently not possible in PC1D in transient excitation mode.
