whitney3d current density in non-conducting region

Post by NickR7 »

Hello, as the title says, I am wondering why the current density as computed by the field solver is non-zero outside of conductors. Current density should, of course, be (electric field vector)x(electric conductivity).

I always thought it was because of the "Fix Current Density" option that makes some correction to the current density j so that div(j)=0. Is this correct?

It does not work to add a line to the ResultOutput solver,

Scalar Field 1 = Electric Conductivity

So that I can later "fix" the current density with something like

j = j * min(conductivity,1)
