Electrostatic field analysis determines the electric field and electric scalar potential (voltage) distribution caused by charge distributions or applied potential. You can apply two types of loads in this analysis: voltage and charge densities.

An electrostatic analysis is assumed to be linear. The electric field is proportional to the applied voltage.

This document covers the h-Method electrostatic analysis method.

Electrostatic contact is also available in Mechanical APDL. See Modeling Electric Contact in the Contact Technology Guide for details.
