Resistive_Load

Syntax

Bc Diffuse For Current ([{of} SpeciesName] | [{in} MaterialPhaseName] | [{ls} {a | b | c}]) {@ | at | for | on | over} Mesh Extent Name ([Touching TouchingMeshExtent] | [Opposing OpposingMeshExtent]) = Resistive_Load [Using Data Specification Data Spec Name] ([Toggle = toggle] | [Area = Area] | [Referencevoltage = ReferenceVoltage])

Summary

Model a boundary attached to a resistive load. The local applied current density is V / (R A) where V is the local voltage, R is the specified resistance, and A is the area of the surface the BC is applied to.

Description

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

Toggle

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