Editing the electrical mesh is done in the electrical mesh editor window - see figure 2. The graph on the left hand side of the window shows the result of the most recent electrical simulation. You can recalculate this simulation for equilibrium conditions by clicking on the refresh button on the top left of the window (the button looks a bit like a recycle arrow). A device is made up of layers, each layer represents a different material system, these are defined using the list at the top right of the window. The thickness of each material layer is also defined in this list.
To perform a simulation one must also define a computational mesh. This is done on the bottom right of the window. The total thickness of the mesh must equal the total thickness of all the layers. In this table one can also configure the density of electrical mesh points.
