This equation is used to calculate the fluxes resulting usually from Poisson kind of equations. These include the Heat equation and the Electrostatic equation.

For info about the math of the equation, see the Elmer models manual, section Flux Computation.

Usage

  1. After adding an Elmer solver as described here, select it in the tree view.
  2. Now either use the toolbar button or the menu Solve → Flux equation.
  3. Change the equation's solver settings or the general solver settings if necessary.

Solver Settings

For the general solver settings, see the Elmer solver settings.

The flux equation provides these special settings:
