Numerical Solution of Laplace's Equation
The objective of this lab is to illustrate the use of a powerful numerical technique known as “the finite element method” to solve Laplace's equation for selected problems. The lab will run in the Department of Electronics undergraduate laboratory, room 4275ME.
The software package we will use is called “Maxwell 2D Field Simulator” from Ansoft Corporation. This software will enable you to visualize the electric field lines and equipotential lines in cross sections of structures consisting of conductors and insulators. There is an online manual for the software.
The write-up for the lab is located HERE.
