That should not be a problem, as it would be a Helmoltz equation in 2D or 3D
(probably 2D, if I can take advantage of the cylindrical symmetry).

Of course not, I'm a poor experimentalist! :-) I'm going to start reading to
see if I can understand a bit more (I was initially looking for something more
"black-boxy", but it seems worth to delve deeper into GetDP).

Thanks!

Bye & Good Luck!
