Assigning a Floating Excitation for an Electrostatic Solver

This type of excitation models conductors at unknown potentials and specifies the total charge on the conductor.

To define a floating conductor:

1. Select the section of the geometry on which you want to apply the excitation. This can be a 2D surface or a 3D solid.
2. Click Maxwell > Excitations > Assign > Floating.
   The Floating Excitation window appears.
3. Click the General tab.
4. Enter a name for the excitation in the Name box, or accept the default.
5. In the Parameters section, enter the charge on the boundary in the Value box.
6. Optionally, click Use Defaults to revert to the default values in the window. You can also click the Defaults tab to save new default settings or to revert to the standard default values.
7. Click OK to assign the excitation to the selected object.
