-The heat flux is given by its value given in the Material Parameters $flux = Q$ if inside a rectangular box (2D or 3D) and $flux = 0$  outside the box.
+The heat flux is given by its value given in the Material Parameters $flux = Q / vol$ if inside a rectangular box (2D or 3D) and $flux = 0$  outside the box.
 with :
   * $Q$ : Heat Flux (boundary : W/m² - Source : W/m³).
+  * $vol$ : Volume of the box : $vol = c 2a 2b$
 As the flux can depend on time, solid temperature, but also current position of the integration point, a distribution can be implemented through dependency function.
