/* Grouping Objects by Material or Source Type */
All the geometric objects in the project workspace are organized together into object groups which share the same properties including color and electric or magnetic parameters. It is recommended that you first create object groups, and then draw new objects under the active group. To create a new object group, right-click on its category name in the "Physical Structure" section of the navigation tree and select one of the "Insert New Group..." items from the contextual menu. However, if you start a new [[EM.Ferma]] project from scratch, and start drawing a new object without having previously defined any object groups, a new default "Fixed-Potential PEC" object group with a zero voltage is created and added to the navigation tree to hold your new geometric object.
 
It is important to note that there is a one-to-one correspondence between electrostatic and thermal simulation entities:

| style="width:200px;" | Temperature
|-

| style="width:200px;" | Insulator Material
|-
| style="width:200px;" | Volume Charge
| style="width:200px;" | Volume Heat Source
|}
{{Note|Electrostatic and thermal solvers share the same material categories on the navigation tree. This means that PEC objects are treated as PTC objects, dielectric objects are treated as insulator objects and volume charges are treated as volume heat sources when the thermal solver is enabled.}}
