Electrostatic Field Strength and Voltage
Electrostatic field strength and voltage analysis is used to study electric fields around objects. It can also analyze dielectrics, which are non-conducting (insulating) materials polarized by electric fields. Analysts can use electrostatic field strength and voltage analysis to ensure that an electric field does not exceed the dielectric strength of a capacitor or a surrounding medium.
Unlike electrostatic current and voltage analysis, electrostatic field strength and voltage analysis requires engineers to model the area around a conducting object. Engineers typically specify voltage, permittivity values or charge density as inputs for electric field analyses. The output consists of voltage at nodes and electric and displacement fields (vectors) at element
centroids.
