A new mixed finite element mesh division and its recursion algorithm are proposed for the solution of two‐dimensional field problems with open boundaries. The scheme is applied to a pin insulator in open space. The results are in close agreement with those of an established technique for modelling field problems. The advantage of the mixed element mesh division over the star point radial ray division of the ballooning technique and its application to a three‐dimensional mesh division are brought out.
