A nonlinear and partially implicit finite‐difference time‐domain scheme with a relaxed stability condition is presented for fast full‐wave simulation of electrostatic discharges occurred at a short gap. The nonlinear spark resistance model of Rompe and Weizel is directly incorporated in this scheme. Its stability, accuracy and computational efficiency are assessed in the application to a metallic structure system.
