Electrostatic solution
Introduction
The electrostatics physics allows the study of electric charges that are in equilibrium. This solution can be used to study high voltage devices, spark gaps, insulators, capacitors etc.

- The Electrostatic solution is available for 2D, AxiSymmetric and 3D cases.
- For 2D cases, the domain depth must be defined to include electromagnetic effects in the third dimension.
- For 3D cases, the user can select the floating potential formulation. Imposed potential will be supported once we add infinite region support for the solution.
Typical example
A typical example of problem treated as an Electrostatic application is presented in the figure below.
: Regions representing the
main parts of the studied device (volume regions in 3D and face regions in 2D)
: Regions representing the
sources (face regions in 3D and line regions in 2D)
