BELA electrostatic force calc
I have a question about the BELA electrostatic force calculation of
the conductor dielectric analysis. If you want to get the effective
pressure/force due to the surface charge in the electrostastic field,
isn't that should be computed from the Maxwell stress equation
integrated on the conductor surface only ? The manual says you should
do the line integral away from the surface (If you do so, the there
is no charge in the outer dielectric media ?). Also, the equation
does not seems to be correct
df = 0.5(D(H*n)+H(D*n)-(D*E)n))
Shouldn't that be the integral of Tij*n on the conductor surface
(line integral)? Tij is the Maxwell stress tensor from the D,E,H,B.
thanks
