Backward Compatibility with Version 4.4
Old models will be updated to use the new boundary conditions, but re-solving a model still gives the same results as before. The following changes to the model are made upon opening:
If an Electric Potential feature is applied to boundaries adjacent to a Plasma Model feature, it is converted to a Metal Contact feature. The settings from the original model are retained. If an Electric Potential feature is applied to boundaries adjacent to a Charge Conservation feature, it remains the same.
If an Electric Potential feature is applied to a combination of boundaries adjacent to a Plasma Model and Charge Conservation feature, a Metal Contact feature is created for the boundaries adjacent to the Plasma Model feature, and the Electric Potential feature remains on boundaries adjacent to the Charge Conservation feature.
Any External Surface Charge Accumulation boundary conditions are replaced by a new Dielectric Contact feature. The settings from the original model are retained. The External Surface Charge Accumulation boundary condition is now obsolete.
