Electrostatic Force

Transfer electrical forces into a mechanical problem.

Transfer electrical forces into a mechanical problem.

Where to find it

Physics → Multiphysics → Electrostatic Force

How to use it

Add the participating physics first, choose the intended source and target, and inspect any required selections and reference values.

Settings and initial values

SettingInitial value
Continuation steps5
Voltage scale start0
Voltage scale stop1
Maximum coupling iterations12
Relative displacement tolerance1e-4
Relaxation1
Moving meshtrue
Fixed mesh boundaryall
Minimum Jacobian ratio1e-6
Pull-in displacement fraction0.9
Initial gap0[m]

Result

The next compatible coupled study includes the interaction.

Troubleshooting

Check compatibility of the study, units and entity sets on both sides; adding two physics interfaces alone does not create this coupling.
