Electrostatic Excitations

The following excitations are available for electrostatic problems:


Excitation

Type of Excitation

Voltage

The DC voltage on a surface or object. This excitation type is available for both electrostatic and DC conduction Electric solvers.

Charge

The total charge on a surface or object (dielectric). This excitation type is available for electrostatic solvers only.

Floating

Used to model conductors at unknown potentials. This excitation type is available for electrostatic solvers only.

Volume Charge Density

The volume charge density in an object. This excitation type is available for electrostatic solvers only.

Note: If a conductor is not assigned any excitation, it is automatically assigned a floating excitation with zero charge.
