Hi,
So the clean to grid filter will eliminate -- albeit somewhat
arbitrarily -- the multi-valued nature of the solution at the interfaces
between elements. The result should be C0 continuous.
However, this will probably not resolve your issue. Indeed, it is
perhaps worth asking if those peaks you observe in the PSD are really
spurious. After all, when the solver 'runs' it is not working to
actively eliminate these effects and so -- at some level -- they are
really there in the simulation. Of course, they're numerical artefacts,
albeit ones which can have a meaningful effect on the subsequent
dynamics of the simulation.
If you do want to get a 'clean' result your best bet is probably to
construct a global basis (which given the test case is relatively
simple) and then project the solution onto this basis.
Regards, Freddie.
