Hello Mehmood,

The answer to both questions is “No”.

There is no need to provide such inputs in the species panel. The dedicated fuel cell panels take care of the setup. The reason being is that we are not explicitly solving for the ionic species. Their transfer is accounted by other means in the model. Please follow the user guide and tutorial materials for setting up the case.

The only time one needs to go into the Species Model panel, if there is a need to define internal reforming reactions within SOFCs, but for normal hydrogen operation of SOFC or in the simulations of SOEC, this is not needed.

Hope this helps and kind regards,

Aleksey.
