The Current Distribution, Boundary Elements Interface
The Current Distribution, Boundary Elements (cdbem) interface (), found under the Electrochemistry branch () when adding a physics interface, solves for the electrolyte potential using the Laplace equation. The equations are formulated and solved for by the use of the Boundary Element Method (BEM). The interface is available for 2D and 3D components.
Due to the use of BEM, current source terms in the electrolyte, and porous electrodes, cannot be used in this interface.
The individual node settings of the Current Distribution, Boundary Elements are in most cases identical to the corresponding nodes in The Primary and Secondary Current Distribution Interfaces. This chapter will only cover features and settings specific for the Current Distribution, Boundary Elements interface.
