Position-dependent electric potential

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'm using the axially symmetrical ES module. I have a series of points in my geometry that I need to set to various values, but it follows a simple equation. For the curious, I'm trying to force a uniform electric field and work backwards to see what my geometry would have to look like.

Any way, am I stuck creating a new electric potential node for each point and manually inputting a value? I'd like to pull the x-coordinate (for example) from each point and use that in my function to compute a potential for each point. Is something like that possible?

I figured out how to get it to work for my simulation. Just have an electric displacement field that is set to a constant.

But I would still like to know if there is any way to do what I asked, because this may come up again in the future for a situation without a simple solution.
