Charge Particle Tracing Module

Hi everyone, I’m working on an electron discharge model using the Electrostatics and CPT modules. The setup involves two particles with opposite polarity approaching each other in vacuum and before contact, a field emission‑driven discharge begins between them. I want to model a continuous electron discharge in CPT. At the moment, I need to manually specify the emission time steps, but ideally I want the particle generation and release to be determined automatically by the local electric field strength on each small element. Since the discharge current density depends on the field intensity, I would like the solver to create particles based on this field‑dependent emission rate, using whatever time steps the solver naturally takes. Is there a way to set up CPT so that emission is continuous and governed directly by the evolving electric field, rather than prescribing fixed release times?
