*MULTIPHYSICS LOAD

Specify a Butler-Volmer surface load to model solid electrodes.

This option is used to specify a Butler-Volmer load in coupled thermal-electrochemical, coupled thermal-electrochemical-structural, and coupled thermal-electrochemical-structural–pore pressure analyses to model solid electrodes.

DEFINITION

Set DEFINITION=BUTLER-VOLMER to define Butler-Volmer kinetics on the surface.

TYPE

Set TYPE=SURFACE to define the load on an element surface.

Data lines to define surface-based loading using an element or element set

First line

  1. Element number or element set label.

  2. Distributed multiphysics load type label (see Three-Dimensional Solid Element Library).

  3. Blank.

  4. Table collection name to use for this element or element set.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define loading for various elements or element sets.

Data lines to define surface-based loading using a surface definition

First line

  1. Surface name.

  2. Multiphysics load type label QS (uniform).

  3. Blank.

  4. Table collection name to use for this surface.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define loading for various surfaces.
