BoundaryCondition Properties

Boundary type, specified as 'dirichlet', 'neumann', or 'mixed'.

Example: applyBoundaryCondition(model,'dirichlet','Face',3,'u',0)

Data Types: char

Geometric region type, specified as 'Face' for 3-D geometry or 'Edge' for 2-D geometry.

Example: applyBoundaryCondition(model,'dirichlet','Face',3,'u',0)

Data Types: char | string

Geometric region ID, specified as a vector of positive integers. Find the region IDs by using pdegplot with the 'FaceLabels' (3-D) or 'EdgeLabels' (2-D) value set to 'on'.

Example: applyBoundaryCondition(model,'dirichlet','Face',3:6,'u',0)

Data Types: double

Dirichlet condition h*u = r, specified as a vector with N elements or a function handle. N is the number of PDEs in the system. For the syntax of the function handle form of r, see Nonconstant Boundary Conditions.

Example: 'r',[0;4;-1]

Data Types: double | function_handle
Complex Number Support: Yes

Dirichlet condition h*u = r, specified as an N-by-N matrix, a vector with N^2 elements, or a function handle. N is the number of PDEs in the system. For the syntax of the function handle form of h, see Nonconstant Boundary Conditions.

Example: 'h',[2,1;1,2]

Data Types: double | function_handle
Complex Number Support: Yes

Generalized Neumann condition n·(c×∇u) + qu = g, specified as a vector with N elements or a function handle. N is the number of PDEs in the system. For scalar PDEs, the generalized Neumann condition is n·(c∇u) + qu = g. For the syntax of the function handle form of g, see Nonconstant Boundary Conditions.

Example: 'g',[3;2;-1]

Data Types: double | function_handle
Complex Number Support: Yes

Generalized Neumann condition n·(c×∇u) + qu = g, specified as an N-by-N matrix, a vector with N^2 elements, or a function handle. N is the number of PDEs in the system. For the syntax of the function handle form of q, see Nonconstant Boundary Conditions.

Example: 'q',eye(3)

Data Types: double | function_handle
Complex Number Support: Yes

Dirichlet conditions, specified as a vector of up to N elements or as a function handle. If u has less than N elements, then you must also use EquationIndex. The u and EquationIndex arguments must have the same length. If u has N elements, then specifying EquationIndex is optional.

For the syntax of the function handle form of u, see Nonconstant Boundary Conditions.

Example: applyBoundaryCondition(model,'dirichlet','Face',[2,4,11],'u',0)

Data Types: double
Complex Number Support: Yes

Index of the known u components, specified as a vector of integers with entries from 1 to N. EquationIndex and u must have the same length.

Example: applyBoundaryCondition(model,'mixed','Face',[2,4,11],'u',[3,-1],'EquationIndex',[2,3])

Data Types: double

Vectorized function evaluation, specified as 'on' or 'off'. This evaluation applies when you pass a function handle as an argument. To save time in function handle evaluation, specify 'on', assuming that your function handle computes in a vectorized fashion. See Vectorization. For details of this evaluation, see Nonconstant Boundary Conditions.

Example: applyBoundaryCondition(model,'dirichlet','Face',[2,4,11],'u',@ucalculator,'Vectorized','on')

Data Types: char
