In (ec) analysis, how can current along edges of the meshes be determined?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I run a frequency domain, electric currents (ec) analysis to find the electrical voltage and current distribution in a 2D non-uniform object. My goal is to export the voltage of each "vertex" and current along each "edge" of all triangular mesh elements.

Using 2D surface plot, I can plot and then export voltages of all "vertices". Is there a way to export currents of "edges"?

Note 1: I can export the x and y components of the current densities at vertices. However, for each vertex, N many (N>1) pair of x-y current density values are generated. It looks like N is equal to the number of neighboring vertices connected to the vertex of interest. I am not sure which current density pair corresponds to which vertex. Therefore, I cannot derive the edge currents using the vertex current.

Note 2: Quality -> no refinement, smoothing -> none, recover -> off

Thanks. Best, Hakan
