Hi,guys; I have some questions about Electrode surface setting。 When I use the internal electrode surface interface, I can't find out how to set the electrode potential. However, in the electrode surface option, the electrode potential can be set。

Thank you very much for your help!

Hello Dengfei Yang,

When the electrode conducts well, the electrode domain can be modeled without being drawn and just the electrode surface should be present . But when the electrode conductivity is not good, the electrode domain needs to be drawn during modeling, and the internal electrode surface should also be present. When internal electrode surfaces are present, you can set the electrode potential using boundary conditions such as potential, electrical ground, circuit terminals, etc. Hope it helps you!
