Question about the option --PlotFlux of SCUFF-NEQ #115

Open klnguyen opened 7 years ago

klnguyen commented 7 years ago

Hi, I would like to use the option --PlotFlux of SCUFF-NEQ to visualize the spatial distribution of the Poynting flux on the surfaces of objects. I tried this option for the case of the thermal transfer between two SiC spheres by using the following syntax:

scuff-neq --geometry ./SiCSpheres.scuffgeo --Omega 0.1 --EMTPFT --PlotFlux

but it did not work and no visualization files are produced.

Could you please show me an example which used --PlotFlux? Thank you very much.

Kind regards.

I haven't had a chance to update the --PlotFlux option to work with --EMTPFT. I hope to get to that soon. If you are only interested in heat transfer you should be able to get decent results with --OPFT.
