plotting - StreamPlot symmetry


I have a given (quite difficult) electrical field and i want to make a Streamplot.



This are my Functions:


Ey1 := -σ (Log[
a - x + Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z - d)^2]] +
Log[-a + x +
Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2]]) + σ (Log[-a -
x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z - d)^2]] +
Log[a + x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2]])

Ey2 := σ (Log[
a - x + Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z + d)^2]] +

Log[-a + x +
Sqrt[(-a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2]]) - σ (Log[-a -
x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a - y)^2 + (z + d)^2]] +
Log[a + x + Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2]])

Ez1 := σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (-a + y))/((z -
d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2])] +
ArcTan[((a + x) (-a + y))/((z -
d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z -
d)^2])]) - σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (a + y))/((z -

d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2])] +
ArcTan[((a + x) (a + y))/((z -
d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z - d)^2])])

Ez2 := -σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (-a + y))/((z +
d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2])] +
ArcTan[((a + x) (-a + y))/((z +
d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (-a + y)^2 + (z +
d)^2])]) + σ (ArcTan[((a - x) (a + y))/((z +
d) Sqrt[(a - x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2])] +

ArcTan[((a + x) (a + y))/((z +
d) Sqrt[(a + x)^2 + (a + y)^2 + (z + d)^2])])

This is my first Plot:


sp3 = Join[Table[{-2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}], 
Table[{2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}], Table[{1.34, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}]];

Show[StreamPlot[{Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {a -> 10,
x -> 0, \[Sigma] -> 1, d -> 2}, {z, -15, 15}, {y, -15, 15},
StreamScale -> Full, StreamStyle -> {Gray, Arrowheads[0.02]},

StreamPoints -> sp3],
Graphics[{Black, Thick, Line[{{-2, -10}, {-2, 10}}], Black, Thick,
Line[{{2, -10}, {2, 10}}]}]]

This is my second Plot:


   sp1 = Join[Table[{-2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}],Table[{2.1, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}]];
sp2 = Table[{-1.9, y}, {y, -9, 9, 1}];

Show[StreamPlot[{Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {a -> 10,

x -> 0, \[Sigma] -> 1, d -> 2}, {z, -15, 15}, {y, -15, 15},
StreamScale -> Full, StreamStyle -> {Gray, Arrowheads[0.02]},
StreamPoints -> sp1],
Graphics[{Black, Thick, Line[{{-2, -10}, {-2, 10}}], Black, Thick,
Line[{{2, -10}, {2, 10}}]}],
StreamPlot[{Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {a -> 10, x -> 0, \[Sigma] -> 1,
d -> 2}, {z, -2, 2}, {y, -10, 10}, StreamScale -> None,
StreamStyle -> {Gray, Arrowheads[0.02]}, StreamPoints -> sp2]]

As you can see, on the second plot, i have two Streamplots, one for the outside of the plate and one for the inside.


The reason for this is, as you can see in the first Streamplot on the highlighted spots, where i used only one one Streamplot, it seems that close to the plate on the inside, ther are no lines anymore.


On the Second Plot i can place the manual StreamPoints on the inside very close to the Plate (-1.9), so it looks totally symmetric.


On the first Plot i cant place the manual StreamPlots not closer than 1.34, otherwise all lines on the inside vanishs.


Basicly Teh electrical field functions are in both cases the same, its just a second StreamPlot on in use. But with this second StreamPlot i get a total different behavior in the inside of the plates.


Does somebody know why, and is it possilbe to plot it like the second plot, but with only one Streamplot ?

Answer



To give an example of what I meant in my comment.


params = {a -> 10, x -> 0, σ -> 1, d -> 2};


ode = {z'[t], y'[t]} == ({Ez1 + Ez2, Ey1 + Ey2} /. {v : y | z :> v[t]} /.
params);
ics = Show[sp, Graphics[{Red, PointSize@Large,
Point@Fold[Drop, sp3, {{38}, {20}}]}]];
psol = ParametricNDSolveValue[{ode, {z[0], y[0]} == {a, b},
WhenEvent[Abs[z[t]] > 15 || Abs[y[t]] > 15, "StopIntegration"],
WhenEvent[Abs[Abs@z[t] - 2] < 0.01 && Abs[y[t]] < 10, "StopIntegration"]},
{z, y}, {t, -100, 100}, {a, b},
Method -> {"ExplicitRungeKutta", "StiffnessTest" -> True},

MaxSteps -> 10000, MaxStepSize -> 0.1];

sols = psol @@@ sp3; // AbsoluteTiming
(* {0.402537, Null} *)

Graphics[{
Gray, Arrowheads[0.02],
Arrow[
Transpose@Through[#["ValuesOnGrid"]] & /@ sols[[1 ;; -1]]
],

{Black, Thick, Line[{{-2, -10}, {-2, 10}}], Black, Thick,
Line[{{2, -10}, {2, 10}}]}
},
PlotRange -> 15, Frame -> True, PlotRangePadding -> Scaled[.02]]

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
