FastCap computes self and mutual capacitances between ideal

|
|
conductors of arbitrary shapes, orientations and sizes.

The conductors can be embedded in a dielectric region composed
|
|
|
|
|
of any number of constant-permittivity regions of any shape and
|
|
|
|
|
size.

The algorithm used in FastCap is an acceleration of the

boundary-element technique for solving the integral equation

associated with the multiple-conductor, multiple-dielectric
|
|
|
|
|
capacitance extraction problem. The linear system resulting
|
|
|
|
|
from the boundary-element discretization is solved using a
|
|
|
|
|
generalized conjugate residual algorithm with a fast multipole
|
|
|
|
|
algorithm to efficiently compute the iterates.
