Hello Mr.Nelson,

I want to build a model included a boundaries conditions on a vertical plan. I mean with common axis with extrusion direction.
For example:
Extrusion (in Z axis)
Value (U) = 10 (in XZ plan)
In fact, I should be able to use one more layer and then define a little zone on contour. I should obtain a square region, but I'm looking for a better solution that will allow me to create a circular region and to move that region from a layer to another one.

Thanks,

Stéphane

FlexPDE applies boundary conditions on sidewalls when you state the BC in a boundary path. So, on the side of a cube :

START (0,0) VALUE(u) =10 LINE TO ...

will put the value(u) on the xz or yz sidewall. See "Boundary Conditions, 3D" and "Boundary Conditions in 3D" in the Help index.

I am not sure what you mean by "a little zone on the contour", but the application of the BC to sidewalls also applies to arcs. And you do not need to "move" a region from one layer to another. A region exists in all layers unless declared as LIMITED. See "Limited Regions" in the Help index.

If you want to apply different BCs on separate layers, this can easily be done by qualifying the BC with a layer name :

START (0,0)
LAYER 1 VALUE(u) = 10
LAYER 2 VALUE(u) = 20
LINE TO ...
