Electrostatic machine

[rebeccamccabe]

I'm a PhD student interested in comparing regular magnetic machines to the recently developed kW-scale electrostatic machines for a particular high-torque low-speed application. I am wondering what modifications would need to be made to pyleecan to make modeling this new architecture feasible, both defining the parametric geometry and especially for the underlying physics. FEMM evidently can handle electrostatic problems but I'm not sure of the changes required to the pyleecan interface to make use of this feature. If it is very difficult, I may just make an analytical model outside pyleecan. Thanks for any advice.
