How to build electric field simulation on a 3D-model?

I used PDE toolbox to work on the E-field simulation within a 2D shape, but now I need to upgrade the structure to 3D level. Is there any method in Matlab to draw a 3D model and conduct the similar electric field simulation as in PDE?

Thanks!

Hi Peng,

Create the 3-D geometry in a CAD software and export it as a STL file. You can then import such 3-D geometry into PDE Toolbox using importGeometry function. Take a look at this documentation page: http://www.mathworks.com/help/pde/ug/importgeometry.html

Ravi,

Thanks very much for your advice! Is it possible to import the 3D STL file directly from the PDE toolbox's interface or it is only applied by the codes?

Hi Peng,

You have to use programmatic interface to import 3-D STL. You cannot import 3-D geometry using PDE App (pdetool).

Is there a step by step guide anywhere for this, I'm fairly new to matlab and I need to display electromagnetic field from a switchboard. Any recommendations ?

Thanks in advance. Oliver

I need to get electrical simulation results of sensor,I have created 3D geometry of model but unable to get results. I tried for COMSOL software but its unable to access it . Is there any other software where i can get results...????
