   Hi,
   I want to simulate Photoacoustic Waveforms in 3D.In the examples,the initial pressure distribution is defined as a ball (filled sphere) using makeBall.However,I have a 3DDisk initial pressure.I don’t know whether its shape can be changed.So can anyone tell me how to define it?

   Any help will be appreciated.
   Thanks!

   Hi HustYjq,

   The initial pressure distribution is just a matrix, so you can define it to be any shape. One way to make a disc in 3D is to assign a 2D disc to one slice. For example:

   disc2D = makeDisc(50, 50, 25, 25, 20);
   disc3D = zeros(50, 50, 50);
   disc3D(:, :, 25) = disc2D;
   voxelPlot(disc3D);

   Hope that helps,

   Brad

   Hi Bradley Treeby，
   Thanks for your help.I still have a question.If i have a matrix of initial pressure ,how do i assign it to source.p?In the examples,the pressure in each position is the same.I have not found the intput matrix of initial pressure.

   Thanks

   If you're modelling an initial value problem (i.e., photoacoustics), you can assign the matrix to source.p0.
