2D formulation for Electrostatic Problems
From KratosWiki
The 2D Electrostatic Poisson's equation given by the governing PDE and its boundary conditions:
can be written as (see the General formulation for Electrostatic Problems):
with (n is the number of nodes of the element):
2D formulation for Triangular Elements
After applying the numerical integration for triangular elements by using the natural coordinates, we obtain:
Stiffness Matrix K(e)
Source Vector f(e)
=
\int \int_{A^{(e)}} \mathbf{N^T} \rho_S d x d y = \int_0^1 \int_0^{1-\beta} |\mathbf{J^{(e)}}| \mathbf{N^T} \rho_S d \alpha d \beta =
