Name
InPlanePolarization
Description
The Plane Polarization Equation is
![\[ {\bf D}_z = 0 \]](equations/6.4.4-eq-6.gif)
where 
is the Total_Polarization.
Activating the Plane Polarization equation is one way to reduce a three
dimensional problem to two
dimensions. Its role in electrostatic problems is
analogous to the role of the Plane_Stress
equation in elasticity problems.
When the Plane Polarization equation is activated, there will be no
polarization in the z direction, although the out-of-plane gradient
of the Voltage[25], Voltage_z, may be
nonzero and will have to be solved for.
(For obscure historical reasons, the name of the Plane Polarization
equation is InPlanePolarization, which is not in
keeping with the names of other equivalent equations in OOF2. It
should be Plane_Polarization. We apologize for
the confusion.)
