Electrostatic Analysis Extender           This extender enables engineers to simulate components exposed to electric currents and fields. Additionally, electrostatic analysis can help to evaluate the effectiveness of insulation and predict the motion of charged objects in electric fields. When combined with heat transfer analysis capabilities, this extender also enables the simulation of electrothermal effects by considering Joule heating. Specifically, electric current results may be automatically transferred to the heat transfer analysis. Electrothermal effects are of importance when simulating the operation of many electronic components, as well as large classes of MEMS devices.
