Charge Source in Floating Capacitor

Alright here's what I'm struggling with: I want a capacitor that is isolated (not connected to any circuit). I want one plate to start with a certain amount of charge on it (coulombs) and the other plate grounded. Then I want to run a time dependent study and see how charge/voltage/electric field change as the capacitor discharges through the dielectric into ground (it is going to be a very slow).

I cant find any way to accomplish this with the electric currents or electrostatics interface. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks so much!

James
