Electrical Stress

(OP)
Hi there,

I'm trying to do some analysis to calculate electrical stress distributions in cable insulation (novice). The element type i'm using is the PLANE230, in order to apply a current to the nodes of the internal diameter of the insulation.

My question is, do i need to have some sort of an 'infinite boundary', as, if this is the case should i be using the PLANE121 elements (which the INFIN110 data describe as compatible)?. Thanks in advance for any tips on this or electrical stress analysis in general!

M.
