Regarding the 2 current densities one is data at the nodes
and the other is data at the element centroids (the one that ends in e)

"independent geometry densities between structure and fluid I can look at" In Elmer this requires the use of mortar boundary conditions. With mortar you have a master and slave so the mesh does not have to conform. Elmer Solver Manual Section 9.2 https://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physics/el...

Here is a working 2D and 3D case, however I do not know if they are correct solutions.
I feel like the body force should be set to the current calculated from solver 1.

I made these changes

ElmerGrid writes the mesh to a subdirectory
The case file specifies looking for the mesh in the current directory.
I think it can't find the partitioned mesh

I can specify the potential at each end and let Elmer calculate the current density Boundary Condition 1 Target Boundaries(1) = 1 Name = "BoundaryCondition 1" Infinity BC = True Potential = 0 End Boundary Condition 2 Target Boundaries(1) = 2 Name = "BoundaryCondition 2" Potential...

That is a correct way to run it.
You can also use
ElmersSolver case.sif

The potential would depend on the boundary conditions, not sure I have them, may also be the problem in 3D

I was able to work through a 2D case, I will try and extend it to a 3d case.

Regarding your plot along a line. The results data are only at the nodes, so when you do a line through the model the data is close to some nodes but farther away from others. This would impact the plot. Finer mesh would help. You can also build the mesh such that there is a line of nodes along wher...

Depending on how the mesh gets saved out of gmsh (all elements or just grouped elements) , elmer makes each group a body, but any solid elements not grouped are sent to the additional group/body of everything not grouped. However, there are flags in gmsh to save all, or just save groups.
