Hello Wolfgang, Thank you for your reply. What you described above is the first approach that I took. There are some differences but overall, it is the same thing. I am not familiar with the form: div E - Delta V = 0 but, I was able to figure out how you came this. Instead, I kept the

As another side note, in this version of the simulation, the charge density (p or rho) will always be zero. Hence, the reason it drops off in my equations. On Monday, September 3, 2018 at 11:19:08 PM UTC-4, phillip mobley wrote: > > Hello all, > > I am unable to edit my original p
