The link was enlightening. Well I'm glad Elmer seems to be able to take care of a surface charge density that varies with location on an arbitrary surface. I am now going to study the tutorials before writing my own program and before starting threads on Elmer forums.
Yours truly

Re: where are the tutorials located?
I apologize. I should have realized from their sizes that those two .tar.gz contained the case studies themselves. It also appears to me that the ElmerGUI/samples subdirectories contain several of them as well.
Great many thanks

Re: where are the tutorials located?
Hello Kevinarden Sorry, I should have been more careful and entitled the request as where are the directories mentioned in the tutorial pdf ? (You are pointing me to the ElmerTutorial.pdf which I had already downloaded a week ago). I just cannot figure out which installation contains them. Thanks to...

where are the tutorials located?
Good afternoon This may sound like a very newbie question. However, I have no choice but to ask since I've hit-a-wall. I have just installed the nightly windows executable under the Program Files (x86) folder but I cannot find any of the directories mentioned under the ElmerTurorlal.pdf. My laptop i...

Re: boundary condition at a dielectric interface
I would have saved myself the trouble of posting this question and viewers from replying if only I had read Advanced Electromagnetic Computation 2nd edition by Kalluri a day in advance since it is proven in his Appendix 16C that Neumann BCs are implicity enforced in FEM's minimizing of the functiona...

Re: boundary condition at a dielectric interface
Hello again OK, first I'm going to show that for a single uniform Cartesian 2D mesh covering two dielectric regions, a very simple program can be coded (for example in C++ or Matlab). I will write the Poisson equations using FDM for the sake of argument but of course the problem could have been writ...

boundary condition at a dielectric interface
Hi everybody Just got acquainted with Elmer yesterday. I was wondering if the Poisson equation solver can handle the well known boundary condition epsilon1 * E1|n - epsilon2 * E2|n = sigma at an interface between two different dielectrics and with sigma being a given arbitrary surface charge distrib...
