Abstract

This work focuses on model preparation for electrostatic simulations of CAD designs to realize a rapid virtual prototyping concept. We present a boundary element method (BEM) allowing discontinuous fields between surfaces. The corresponding edges of the CAD model are enhanced with the data required to integrate over non-conforming elements. Finally, we generate a mesh for each CAD surface. The approach is verified via numerical experiments and shows excellent agreement with conforming BEM results.
