== Computational Domain and Boundary Conditions ==
[[Image:fermbc.png|thumb|200px|Boundary Condition Dialog]]
In EM.Ferma, the Poisson or Laplace equations are solved subject to boundary conditions using the Finite Difference technique. As a result, you need to specify a finite computational domain and then specify the domain boundary conditions.

EM.Ferma's computational domain defines where the domain boundary condition will be specified. The domain can be seen as a blue cubic wireframe that surrounds all of the CAD objects in the project workspace. To modify the domain settings, find the "3D Static Domain" entry in the navigation tree, right-click on it, and select "Domain Settings...". The domain dialog will appear. In the domain dialog, the domain boundary can be specified in terms of either a custom, fixed location, or as custom offsets from CAD objects in the scene.
EM.Ferma allows the user to either specify the potential on the boundary (Dirichlet boundary condition), or specify the normal derivative on the boundary (Neumann boundary condition) via a specified field strength. To modify the boundary condition, find "Boundary Conditions" on the navigation tree, and select "Boundary Conditions...". The user will be prompted with the dialog seen at right.
== Observables in EM.Ferma ==
In EM.Ferma's quasistatic mode, transmission-line [[parameters]] Z0 and EpsEff are computed, in addition to output due to the Field Sensor, which is required to define the 2D solution plane. Text files corresponding to these observables will be placed in the project's working directory after each analysis.

In EM.Ferma, the Laplace equation is solved subject to boundary conditions. Here, we will discuss how to specify these boundary conditions.
