You can use [[EM.Ferma]] 's electrostatic simulation engine features a 2D solution mode where your physical model is treated as a longitudinally infinite structure in the direction normal to perform specified "2D Solution Plane". A 2D solution plane is defined based on a quasi-static analysis of multi-conductor transmission line structures, which usually provides good results at lower microwave frequencies (f < 10GHz)"Field Sensor" definition that already exists in your project. To explore [[EM.Ferma]] computes the characteristics impedance Z₀ and effective permittivity &epsilon;_eff of your TEM or quasi-TEM transmission line. The "'s 2D quasimode, right-static approachclick on '''2D Solution Planes''' in the " involves two stepsComputational Domain" section of the navigation tree and select '''2D Domain Settings. To perform a transmission line simulation, first draw your structure in ..''' from the project workspace just like a typical 3D structurecontextual menu. Define a In the 2D Static Domain dialog, check the checkbox labeled "Field SensorTreat Structure as Longitudinally Infinite across Each 2D Plane Specified Below" . The first field sensor observable in the navigation tree so as to capture is used for the cross section definition of your structure as your desired transmission line profilethe 2D solution plane.

Next, define At the end of a "2D Solution Plane" in electrostatic analysis, you can view the navigation tree based electric field and potential results on your existing the field sensorplane. When defining It is assumed that your structure is invariant along the direction normal to the 2D solution plane, check the box labeled "Perform 2D Quasi-Static Simulation". If an analysis is run with this option checkedTherefore, the characteristic impedance Z₀ your computed field and effective permittivity &epsilon;_eff will potential profiles must be computed for valid at all the corresponding 2D Solution Plane. The results are written planes perpendicular to two output data files named "solution_plane_Z0.DAT" and "solution_plane_EpsEff.DAT", respectively, where "solution_plane" is the default name of your 2D planespecified longitudinal direction.

[[EM.Ferma]]'s electrostatic simulation engine features a 2D solution mode where your physical model is treated as a longitudinally infinite structure in the direction normal to specified "2D Solution Plane". More than one 2D solution plane may be defined. In that case, multiple 2D solutions are obtained. A 2D solution plane is defined based on a "Field Sensor" definition that already exists in your project. To explore [[EM.Ferma]]'s 2D mode, right-click on '''2D Solution Planes''' in the "Computational Domain" section of the navigation tree and select '''2D Domain Settings...''' from the contextual menu. In the 2D Static Domain dialog, check the checkbox labeled "Treat Structure as Longitudinally Infinite across Each 2D Plane Specified Below". This would enable you to add new 2D Solution Plane definitions to the list or edit the existing ones. In the Add/Edit 2D Solution Plane dialog, you can choose a name other than the default name and select one of the available field sensor definitions in your project. At the end of a 2D electrostatic analysis, you can view the electric field and potential results on the respective field sensor planes. It is assumed that your structure is invariant along the direction normal to the 2D solution plane. Therefore, your computed field and potential profiles must be valid at all the planes perpendicular to the specified longitudinal direction.  <table><tr> <td> [[Image:Qsource14.png|thumb|left|750px|The 2D static domain dialog.]] </td></tr> </table> You can also use [[EM.Ferma]] to perform a quasi-static analysis of multi-conductor transmission line structures, which usually provides good results at lower microwave frequencies (f < 10GHz).
