Dielectric Shielding Comparison

Application ID: 12625


The dielectric shielding boundary condition is meant to approximate a thin layer of material with high relative permittivity compared to its surroundings. This boundary condition is available for electrostatic field modeling. This example compares the dielectric shielding boundary condition to a full-fidelity model and discusses the range of applicability of this boundary condition.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
