Re: Elmer8 gives zero results for electric field

Hi,
I don't understand why the field gets non-symmetric for potential 4000/0 as opposed to 2000/-2000.
I have had a look at your geometry. Your capacitor plates are in fact just frames filled with air. Did you use the same geometry in ANSYS?
I would make the plates bodies and assign them a material. And I don't think you need the inifinity BC. To determine the electric field, you can use either of the methods given in the previous posts.
HTH,
Matthias
