How to create a BodyForce?

Post by mahue »

Hello all,
I want to use the Vector Helmholtz Equation for electromagnetic fields. But there is no option to put the value of power (1mW) in the BodyForce window.

Hi,

I didn't check, but there is certainly a free text field where you can put your bodyforce. If not, just modify the corresponding xml file, the syntax is easy to understand.

HTH,

Matthias

Everything you write to a free text field will be copied "as is" to corresponding section of the sif file, so you can use it from that point on. To check, do sif-> generate and sif-> edit in the GUI.

HTH,

Matthias
