I also did one on a monte carlo method for computing space charge and
electric field near complex geometries, like transmission line towers.
It was a reprise of one I did for PLUG AT a number of years ago.
Unfortunately, my live demo failed for two reasons: no one brought a
projector, and the nice software I used for 3d visualization had
slewed enough in a few years that my glue logic for data integration
no longer worked.  So I waved my hands a lot, which sort of made up
for it.

Oh, (/me checks the To: line) the compute platform was a distributed
heterogeneous linux cluster, some of which was donated for the task by
PLUG members!  Thanks again!
