How to solve 4th PDE in postprocessing

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

When I use Electric currents module, I want to solve 4th order PDEs in this postprocessing. For example, d(d(d(d(V,x),x),x),x). But it didn’t work.

Please give me some advise. Thanks.

I doubt the elements have so high order, which means the fourth order derivative will be zero.

I find that d function is 2nd order. Did you have a way to solve 4th order deviate?

Thanks.

One way is to introduce an intermediate variable.
