Hi,

I am modelling thermodiffusion of moisture with the mathematical module. Is it possible impose a constraint to the concentration, c, in order to ensure it stays positive.

A negative concentration is frequently a sign of an incorrectly defined physics, coarse mesh or large time steps in a transient analysis. In general you don’t need a constraint to enforce the concentration to stay non-negative.

Thank you for your response.

I am not using using the bulit-in modules. I needed to use the math module.
