Summary

Value from a string function

Description

The value, $\phi$ , is calculated from the user-defined string function, $f$ which can be a function of time ( $T$ ), coordinates ( $X$ , $Y$ , $Z$ ), or any valid expression name. Check the String Functions chapter (String Functions) for more details about valid functions and variables that can be used.

The following options are present in most boundary conditions/sources. The meaning of each option is as follows:

Power_Output: If specified, the total (integrated) power of the given BC/Src is calculated and stored into the global variable name specified as the power_output argument.
Flux_Output: If specified, the average flux of the given BC/Src is calculated and stored into the global variable name specified as the flux_output argument.
Toggle: If given, specifies which toggle block controls whether this BC is active or not.

{of}	{of \| species \| subindex}	–
SpeciesName	string	–
power_output	“string”	–
flux_output	“string”	–
