Both the electric field and the structural solution were off than what we would expect from it. I wanted to study the deformation of electrodes with the dielectric as the electrodes are soft. But as you mentioned I was unable to model the electrodes. Are you sure there is no way we can do that? I contacted Technical Support and they also are having a hard time figuring it out. In the documentation available, electrodes were never this important and constituted about 66% of the structure. You can see a simplified model below just to know how the structure looks like.
Please let me know if you have any idea how to model these electrodes. And yes I also modelled it with weird permittivity and the solution did not converge.
