Solve 2d wave equation on circular domain using pdetool

Hi, I am wondering how to use the pdetool to solve the wave equation on a circular domain. As far as I can tell it looks like it only can solve steady state equation (laplace, steady state heat, ect). I know it's possible to do it at the command line but can it be done using the gui interface (pde in the apps tab)

any help would be much appreciated!!

Thanks Drew

You probably missed the PDE > PDE Specification dialog, where you can specify a hyperbolic PDE. You can specify initial conditions, boundary conditions, and problem coefficients as string functions, such as sin(x-y)*t. For more detailed instructions, see Wave Equation.
