Special attention was paid to the user friendly construction of geometries with corners and sharp points, and to the fast generation of highly refined triangular meshes and field maps. The execution of self-adaptive meshes was also implemented. These customized features make the code attractive for the simulation of needle-type corona electrodes. Some case examples involving needle type electrodes are presented.698-701engComputer aided software engineeringComputer simulationElectric coronaElectric field effectsFinite element methodMesh generationCorona electrodesElectric field simulationsNeedle type electrodesElectrochemical electrodesArtigo10.1088/1009-0630/9/6/13WOS:000252706900013Acesso restrito2-s2.0-38049090656
