Hello,
I'm wondering whether there is a way to assign an electrostatic potential to an element with material properties of Iron such that it could be treated by the both magnetostatic and the electrostatic solver at the same time. To my best knowledge, potentials, which can be recognized by the electrostatic solver may only be assigned to PEC-made elements. As a result, if one wishes to simulate an iron element, which serves as an electrode and as a magnetic shielding at the same time, one has to manually draw a additional PEC surface. Perhaps, somebody knows any trick how to avoid that.
So, I've figured it out myself.
One should separate the particle-tracking problem into a magnetostatic and a electrostatic/particle-tracking problem with two separate project files, respectively. It is also useful to make an additional project solely for the definition of the geometry of the system, which should be imported into the both magnetostatic and electrostatic/particle-tracking projects. First, one should calculate the magnetic field and then import it into the electrostatic/partcle-tracking solver. The forms from the geometry file, for each of the problems, can be assigned with different material properties relevant for the corresponding solver.
