{ 3D_XPERIODIC.PDE
This example shows the use of FlexPDE in 3D applications with periodic boundaries.
The PERIODIC statement appears in the position of a boundary condition, but
the syntax is slightly different, and the requirements and implications are
more extensive.
The syntax is:
PERIODIC(X_mapping,Y_mapping)
The mapping expressions specify the arithmetic required to convert a point
(X,Y) in the immediate boundary to a point (X',Y') on a remote boundary.
The mapping expressions must result in each point on the immediate boundary
mapping to a point on the remote boundary. Segment endpoints must map to
segment endpoints. The transformation must be invertible; do not specify
constants as mapped coordinates, as this will create a singular transformation.
The periodic boundary statement terminates any boundary conditions in effect,
and instead imposes equality of all variables on the two boundaries. It is
still possible to state a boundary condition on the remote boundary,
but in most cases this would be inappropriate.
The periodic statement affects only the next following LINE or ARC path.
These paths may contain more than one segment, but the next appearing
LINE or ARC statement terminates the periodic condition unless the periodic
statement is repeated.
In this problem, we have a heat equation with an off=center source in an irregular
figure. The figure is periodic in X, with Y faces held at zero, and Z-faces insulated.
