MATLAB: How to build electric field simulation on a 3D-model

Question

I used PDE toolbox to work on the E-field simulation within a 2D shape, but now I need to upgrade the structure to 3D level. Is there any method in Matlab to draw a 3D model and conduct the similar electric field simulation as in PDE?

Thanks!

Hi Peng,

Create the 3-D geometry in a CAD software and export it as a STL file. You can then import such 3-D geometry into PDE Toolbox using importGeometry function. Take a look at this documentation page: http://www.mathworks.com/help/pde/ug/importgeometry.html
