Hello everyone!  
Does anyone know articles where the validation of the results of SPIS calculations is carried out? (And in such a way that you can then check everything yourself on your computer.) I am very interested in checking the distribution of potential on solar batteries under the influence of a Hall thruster plume, for example, on the SMART-1 spacecraft.  
Thanks.

Not sure if I understood you correctly, but the validation case simulations themselves can be found at

[ValidationCases-6.1.0.zip](https://www.spis.org/get/software/spis/surface/latest/ValidationCases-6.1.0.zip)

There also more, for other versions [here](https://www.spis.org/get/software/spis/surface/) if you have access to it

Dear Steve,  
I don’t think we ever published them, but this is an interesring idea. I the mean time we will try to publish a short description of the cases so you can have the physics (and numbers) behind the cases.

Best regards,  
Sébastien
