Electrostatic Potential always between 0 and 1V
Posted: 23 Jul 2021, 15:57
Dear Forum User,
I'm struggling a bit with a basic electrostatic simulation(zip attached).
The geometry and mesh was set up using salome 9.6.0
So, it's a simple T shape 3D structure... as BC, the base of the T is grounded, one side is at 2V and the other one is at 4V. There are also 2 different dielectric constants from the 2 T parts shaping the T (top bar and vertical bar).
Setting up the mesh in Salome, I took care to join all the solids when meshing in order to avoid redundant shared elements or nodes (If needed, the salome file is in geom.zip).
When I'm running the simulation, the results in Paraview shows a potential map ranging from 0 to 1V, and the BC are not applied as expected... at least, from what I can see.
Does anybody know what can be the reason for this?
Thanks a lot for your support.
Regards
Mat
