  • Abstract
    A finite element program for calculation of electrostatic fields is described, where the grid is generated automatically from a drawing by means of a digitizer. A field plot made on a numerically controlled drafting machine can be called for as part of the program output. Sample calculations are presented, and a comparison is made with an analytical solution.
