Using time-dependent electric field

Hello!
I would like to use an electric field that varies in time. Does Garfield++ allow us to do this?
Thank a lot for your help!

Hi,
apologies for my late reply. It depends…
What is the time scale with which the electric field varies in your application? And what method did you have in mind for computing the electric field (finite-element field map, analytic expressions, …)?

There is no “out-of-the box” function for using a time-dependent electric field, but what you could do, for instance, is set a time interval for the avalanche simulation, and after each interval update the electric field. Or if you have an analytic expression or parameterisation of the field as function time and spatial coordinates, we could implement something…
