Question: When simulating the hammer impact force of pile driving using the 2 D axisymmetric feature in COMSOL Multiphysics: - I have added a point load

When simulating the hammer impact force of pile driving using the 2D axisymmetric feature in COMSOL Multiphysics:
- I have added a point load on axis of 250,000N
- I have time step parameters of: range [0,1,1.002] in seconds to achieve a blow rate of 60 impacts per minute.
(a) How would I change the step parameter, so the point load acts as an impact force with a blow rate of 60 per minute.
- When I change the sequence range to [0,1,1.002] for 60 impacts per minute, I receive the following error that the:
Nonlinear solver did not converge.
Time: 0.0028823893229166569 s.
Maximum number of Newton iterations reached.
Last time step is not converged
(b) How can I Apply the Point Load as a Time-Dependent Function:
Under the "Point Load (on Axis)1" node in the Model Builder tree.
My options to select are: Point Selection,Override and Contribution,Equation and Force
Under "Force," if I enter the expression if(time=0.001,250000,0).
I receive the error that unknown variable time
