• Introduction on the Electrostatic Solver
– This workshop introduces the Electro Static solver based on some simple examples. This solver is meant to solve the static electric field without current flowing in conductors (conductors are in electrostatic equilibrium). The conductors are considered perfect such that there is no electric field inside conductors.
Electrostatic求解器用于解决静电场而无需电流在导体中流动的问题,导体处于静电平衡状态。在该解算器重,导体认为是理想的,因此认为导体内部没有电场。
Example1: Cylindrical Capacitor in RZ
• In this example, we will determine the electric field distribution of coaxial cable based on the potential (or the charges) that are applied on each conductor. Coaxial cable will be solved with RZ representation
分析同轴电缆的电场分布,同轴电缆通过RZ坐标轴进行建模。
