FEM EquationFlux

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) Either use the toolbar button [[Image:FEM_EquationFlux.svg|32px]] or the menu.
 * 3) Now either add a heat equation  (toolbar button [[Image:FEM_EquationHeat.svg|24px]] or menu ) or an electrostatic equation (toolbar button [[Image:FEM_EquationElectrostatic.svg|24px]] or menu ). This is important because the flux equation needs the constraints set for these equastions.
 * 4) When using the electrostatic equation, change the property  to None. and the property  to Potential.
 * 5) Change the equation's solver settings or the general solver settings if necessary.

Constraint Information
The flux equation does not have own constraints. It takes the constraints from the Heat equation or the  Electrostatic equation.
