Use the Electrode Current node to set the total current or average current density over an external at an exterior boundary of an Electronic Conducting Phase domain — typically at the interface between the electrode and the current collector or current feeder. The condition sets the total inward current without imposing the current density distribution. The potential along the boundary is calculated in order to satisfy the total value of the current.

When using the Total current option in 1D or 2D, the boundary area is based on the Out-of-Plane Parameter from the top node.

Enabling Include contact resistance allows for a Contact resistance Rc (SI unit: Ω·m2) to be specified.

Enable Include harmonic perturbation to specify the Perturbation amplitude value. This setting will be used by the Frequency-Domain Perturbation study step when running an AC Impedance study.
