Difference between Variables and Analytical Functions

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi!

I would like to aply a heat flux with a mathematical definition onto a surface. I have noticed that there are two ways to do this. I can define the heat flux as a analytical function or write the same function in the variables. The advantage of a function is that I can plot it and see if its correct. Is there anything else I am missing? When should I use what?

Greetings Moritz
