Periodic boundary condition with stepping potential in Electric Current module

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi I am a new COMSOL user trying to solve an electric problem. After checking the docs and forum I am still not sure if this boundary condition is possible to realize.

My model is in a 2D box with two sides in periodic condition so it is continuous in x direction. Now I wish to apply a periodic condition on the top and bottom so it is continuous as well. But instead of Vsrc=Vdst, I need them to have a potential difference such that Vsrc= Vdst+V0. In this way it can be continuous with current flow.
I cannot find a way to do that in 4.2a. Can anybody let me know if that is actually possible?

Thank you very much,
Zepu
