/* Domain Boundary Conditions */
*EM.Ferma provides two options for thermal boundary conditions on the domain box. The Dirichlet boundary condition is the default option and is specified as a fixed temperature value on the surface of the domain walls. By default, this value is 0&deg;C. The Neumann boundary condition specifies the normal derivative of the temperature on the surface of the domain walls. This is equivalent to a constant heat flux passing through the domain walls and its value is specified in W/m<sup>2</sup>. A zero heat flux means a perfectly insulated domain box and is known as the adiabatic boundary condition.
To modify the boundary conditions, right-click on "Boundary Conditions" in the navigation tree, and select "Boundary Conditions..." from the contextual menu to open the Boundary Conditions Dialog. In order to switch from the electrostatic solver to the thermal solver you have to check the box labeled '''Treat as a Thermal Structure'''.In the "Global Thermal Properties" section of the Boundary Conditions dialog, you can set the values of the ambient temperature in &deg;C, thermal conductivity of the environment in W/(m.K) and the convective coefficient in W/(m<sup>2</sup>.K). You can also disable the enforcement of the convective boundary condition on the surface of solid insulator objects.
