Description

Activating a Field on a Mesh means that the components of the Field will be found when the Mesh is solved, if the Field appears in any active Equations.

Only Fields that have been defined may be activated. Fields that have been defined but not activated are passive fields: they may still be used in active Equations, but they are treated as constants instead of as variables.
