== The 2D Quasi-Static Simulation Mode==
[[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". 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 "Reduce the 3D Domain to a 2D Solution Plane". The first field sensor observable in the navigation tree is used for the definition of the 2D solution plane.
At the end of a 2D electrostatic analysis, you can view the electric field and potential results on the field sensor plane. 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.

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).
