Syntax

Source For Energy [{of} SpeciesName | {in} MaterialPhaseName | {ls} {a | b | c}] {@ | at | for | on | over} MeshPartIdentifier = Joule_Heating [Power_Output = power_output | Toggle = toggle | Voltage_Subindex = voltage_subindex]

Summary

Joule heating source for energy equation

Description

$S = -j \cdot \nabla V$

where $j$ is the current density and $V$ the voltage.

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.
Toggle: If given, specifies which toggle block controls whether this BC is active or not.
