HiPhi offers unparalleled computational power, speed and accuracy for 3D electrostatics at a moderate price. The program handles user-specified geometries that may contain regions of electrodes, dielectrics, space-charge and resistive materials. The package includes the
PhiView postprocessor for plots and interactive analyses. A PC with 512 MB of RAM can accomodate large meshes with over 10 million elements. Solution times are short - a 200,000-node calculation takes less than 1 minute.
HiPhi has application to areas such as high-voltage engineering, circuit component design, electro-optical and vacuum microelectronic devices, electroplating and electrostatic equipment (precipitators, copiers, printers,...). (Available for Windows and Linux.
MetaMesh required.)
