Modeling E-Fields of Tesla Coil - Building a model

I have ANSOFT's Maxwell 2D and 3D program which can do both magnetostatic
and electrostatic modeling.
Just had a few questions for how to properly model a tesla coil.

SECONDARY COIL
*****************
Can I make the assumption that voltage is evenly distributed down the
secondary coil from the potential seen on the top load
to the ground plane (0V)?  If so, I would probably split the secondary into
a number of smaller disks and assign a potential for
each disk.

FOR SINGLE TOROID
*******************
For a single toroid, i assume the entire toroid should be set at a single
voltage.

FOR DOUBLE STACK TOROIDS
****************************
How do you treat the potential across say two stacked toroids.  Do you
assume each toroid has equal potential ? ? ?

BREAK-OUT POINTS
*******************
Should be easy enough by merely putting a small dib on the toroid.


Any other thoughts or comments??
Thanks
