There's a piece(s) of copper wire in a brain. I'd like to set the cells
immediately surrounding this wire (except for the top and bottom
surfaces) including any splinters as non-conducting cells, i.e., I'd
like to set the diffusion coefficient (scalar/tensor) to zero.

Is the model still well-posed in that case?


> Is there
a way to do this in deal.II? I'm thinking of the FE_Nothing class but
I'm not certain that's the best way to go.

You can use the material_indicator field of every cell to mark all such cells once at the beginning of the program. You'd then only assemble on cells for which cell->material_indicator() only returns certain values.

Best
 W.
