Works with VSimBase, VSimEM, VSimPD, VSimPA, and VSimVE licenses.

Indicates Vorpal should calculate the absorbed current for a species by an absAndSav absorber. speciesCurrAbs requires both a species parameter and ptclAbsorbers parameter. This History tracks the current from charged particles as they impact the absorbers.

speciesCurrAbs Parameters

species (string vector, required)

Indicates particle species type for a History kind that reports data for particle species. Exactly one species name should be specified.

ptclAbsorbers (string vector)

Specifies name(s) the particle absorber(s), on which the absorbed current due to incident charged particles are recorded. At least one absorber should be specified. The absorber must be a kind of absorb-and-save. If multiple absorbers are specified, total absorbed current on all these absorbers are recorded.

speciesCurrAbs History Example

<History ptclHistCurrent>
    kind = speciesCurrAbs
    species = [ions]
    ptclAbsorbers = [rightAbsorber]
</History>
