Calculating Capacitance

[Anonymous]

Hey,

Is it possible to calculate the capacitance between two models? Attached you can see the required geometrically shapes.

Thanks

To calculate the mutual capacitance between parts, one can follow the instructions provided in the on line Wiki help:

Which states:

The electrostatic charge can be used to calculate the capacitance of a group of conductors if the proper loads are applied. The exterior surface of each conductor must be placed in a unique surface. If a model consists of three conductors, apply voltages of 1V to one of the conductors (the primary conductor) and 0V to the other conductors. In the Results environment, sum the electrostatic charge on the surface of the primary conductor. This is the self-capacitance of that conductor. The sum of the electrostatic charge on each of the remaining two conductors is the mutual capacitance between that conductor and the primary conductor. This process can be repeated using a different primary conductor to create the capacitance matrix.
