Re: Electric field not adjusting with moving mesh

Hi,

I have tried to incorporate solid mechanics with the previous model in order to apply a body load. Then I used the displacement (u) from solid mechanics as the mesh displacement for ALE but am I getting an error as shown in the attached figure. I tried applying the mesh displacement to only the device (not the air) and there were no errors but the electric fields weren't changing again like in the original model. So I believe the problem is that only part of the mesh (the device) has a displacement (u in air is zero).

So is there anyway I can express the displacement of the whole mesh as the displacement (u) of just the device? Or is this a totally different issue?

Thanks again,
Jeffrey
