Hi,

I would like to model static buildup and discharge. It will be appreciated if someone can point to me a direction. Thanks!

What kind of model are you wanting to make? Like a graph, drawing, ETC. Or am I misunderstanding?
 
Hi, Drakkith,

Thanks for the reply!

I have plastic cups moving inside a machine. I would like to know how much static builds up during certain time period. And, how it discharges. So, I am interested in mathematical modeling and hopefully, solving the governing equations using finite element method.

Ah ok. Well, I wish I could help you, but I don't have enough knowledge about this. Sorry!
