DEPENDENT_ELEM_BALANCE_FLUXES

Use this command to set whether the dependent element should balance fluxes at the boundaries. This command is available with the HOMOGENIZATION_MODEL as a command within the ADVANCED_HOMOGENIZATION_OPTIONS.

For most boundary conditions (the notable exception being the “gas” type of boundary condition) the default behavior is that the boundary flux of the dependent substitutional element balances the fluxes of all other substitutional elements such that the size of the domain is preserved. This generally means that the flux of the dependent element equals minus the sum of all other substitutional elements.

This feature allow the balancing of boundary fluxes to be turned off and consequently the domain may change its size as a result of the boundary condition.

The input for this feature is Yes or No, where No mean that the balancing of boundary fluxes is turned off.
