iScience92 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Anyone have any recommendations for a decent 3D E-field simulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've used Maxwell by Ansys for magnetic fields; I imagine the electric field application is similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfmotat Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Any software that can graph vector fields would work. Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, etc. For example, this plot took me about 30 seconds in matlab. It corresponds to the electric field of a positive point charge. EDIT: Well, swansont's suggestion puts mine to shame. Edited September 1, 2014 by elfmotat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 EDIT: Well, swansont's suggestion puts mine to shame. Software written for the express purpose of such modeling is likely to be far superior to a DIY attempt in calculation software unless you are looking at simple setups.

Klaynos Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've used hffs, comsol and meep for em modeling, they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Of course depending what you're doing analytical solutions may also be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensei Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The best software you can have, is your own software. You can change it any time you need and want.. And it's free.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
