  3. Abstract:
  4. In this paper, three-dimensional Finite Element Method in Time-Domain (FEMTD) has been used to solve the current distribution in an acid-copper bath. The effects of geometric figures on the electrode current distributions and deposited profiles have been studied. A powerful adaptive mesh generator has been carefully designed to meet the requirements on three-dimensional geometries. Almost all practical configurations, even discontinuities and very sharp features, are permitted. A mesh-deformation algorithm is used to follow the change of profiles in the time-domain. For this purpose, instead of becoming involved with complicated mathematical formulations, the morphing techniques of computer graphics have been utilized. The results are rendered to visualize the evolution of profiles, which has considerably simplified the interpretation of the program's output. Several examples have been analyzed numerically
