Symmetry Plane (for Electric Field)
The Symmetry Plane node adds a boundary condition that represents symmetry or antisymmetry in the electric field, depending on which option is chosen.
Symmetry Type
Choose between Symmetry and Antisymmetry for the electric field. If Symmetry is chosen, the boundary condition is
which states that the normal component of the electric field is zero. If Antisymmetry is chosen, the boundary condition becomes
which states that the tangential component of the electric field is zero.
