Assigning a Charge Excitation for an Electrostatic Solver

This type of excitation defines the total charge on a surface or object. The potential on the charge is computed during the solution.

To define a charge excitation:

1. Select the section of the geometry on which you want to apply the excitation.
2. Click Maxwell > Excitations > Assign > Charge.
   The Charge Excitation window appears.
3. Enter a name for the excitation in the Name box, or accept the default.
4. In the Parameters section, enter the charge in the Value box.
5. Optionally, click Use Defaults to revert to the default values in the window.
6. Click OK to assign the excitation to the selected object.
