Additional information

This metamodel is a toolkit for drug patch conception. The user can determine the geometry of the patch and initial drug concentrations. A number of drugs are pre-tabulated with their diffusivities. Elmer solves a convection-diffusion equation and postprocessing tools display the time evolution of drug concentration across the epidermis and the dermis and generates a graphical report with the rate at which drug is transmitted to the skin.

Cd to the models' directory in a terminal and issue gmsh patch.py at the prompt, or open patch.py from the "File" menu of Gmsh.
