Hi,

I was wondering if Epoch includes a Poisson Solver. If I start a simulation with only positively charged particles, simple outflow boundary conditions and initial electric field =0 everywhere, am I going to create immobile negative charges? Or there is a sort of Poisson solver that creates the fields required?

Thanks

Gabriele

No, it doesn't. It used to have one which didn't work all that well so it was removed, but it would be useful to have. I will flag this as a feature request to be added.
