Ciao tutti

"Inward current density" as a boundary condition troubles me. How is "inward" defined? I used that BC and then checked what the electrolyte potential at that boundary was. Then I changed the BC to "Electrolyte Potential" where I inserted the value I got from the previous run, and evaluated the current density. It had an opposite sign to the first run. Hence, my conclusion is that "inward" means towards the simulation domain. Am I right?

Hi Lasse,

Yes, "inward" means a direction from outside the simulation domain and into the domain; typically, change the sign of the specified quantity to make it go in the "outward" direction instead (going out from the simulation domain).

Best regards,

Thanks for a propmt reply. Perhaps the wording could be clearer in the future version?
