This equation perform electrostatic analyses using Gauss' law.

For info about the math of the equation, see the Elmer models manual, section Electrostatics.

Usage

  1. After adding an Elmer solver as described here, select it in the tree view.
  2. Now either use the toolbar button or the menu Solve → Electromagnetic Equations → Electrostatic equation.
  3. Change the equation's solver settings or the general solver settings if necessary.

Solver Settings

For the general solver settings, see the Elmer solver settings.

The electrostatic equation provides these special settings:

  • DANECalculate Capacitance Matrix: Calculates the capacitance matrix. The matrix contains the the point charges of the mesh knots.
  • DANECalculate Electric Energy: Calculates the electric potential energy.
  • DANECalculate Electric Field: Calculates the electric field.
  • DANECalculate Electric Flux: Calculates the electric flux.
  • DANECalculate Surface Charge: Calculates the surface charge.
  • DANECapacitance Matrix Filename: File in which the capacitance matrix is being saved. It is only used if DANECalculate Capacitance Matrix is set to true.
  • DANEConstant Weights: If constant weighting for results is used.
  • DANEPotential Difference: Potential difference in Volt for which the capacitance is calculated. It is only used if DANECalculate Capacitance Matrix is set to false. Therefore in fact this setting specifies the voltage between the electrodes of a simple capacitor. Note that the given voltage has to be consistent with the potentials defined in the boundary conditions.

Analysis Feature Information

The electrostatic equation takes the following analysis features into account if they are set:

Note

Except for calculations in 2D, for electrostatic potential boundary conditions it is important that they act on a face or body. Boundary conditions in 3D set to lines or vertices are not recognized by the Elmer solver.

Results

The available results depend on the solver settings. If none of the DANECalculate * settings was set to true, only the electric force density and the electric potential are calculated. Otherwise also the corresponding results will be available.

The possible results are:

  • Electric energy density in
  • Electric field in
  • Electric flux in
  • Electric force density in
  • Potential in
  • Potential loads in
