Syntax

Source For Energy ([{of} SpeciesName] | [{in} MaterialPhaseName] | [{ls} {a | b | c}]) {@ | at | for | on | over} MeshPartIdentifier = Polynomial ([Power_Output = power_output] | [Toggle = toggle] | Variable = variable | Order = order | [Variable_Offset = variable_offset] | [C0 = c0] | [C1 = c1] | [C2 = c2] | [C3 = c3] | [C4 = c4] | [C5 = c5] | [C6 = c6] | [C7 = c7] | [C8 = c8])

Summary

Value from a polynomial function

Description

The source, $\phi$ , is calculated as $\phi = \sum_i^n C_i (X + X_0)^i$ where $X_0$ is the variable offset, $X$ is the variable, $n$ is the order and the coefficients provided are $C_i$

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.
