In joule heating ,how to compute the resistance of a body? can you tell me the formula? such as voltage is V, the symble of current is what and the symble of resistance is what in comsol? Thanks a lot!

Hi

if you impose the voltage, you can get the current by integrating the current density over the flux area. Then as U= R*I => R = U/I you calculate the resistance

If you have selected the lumped ports / terminal nodes, COMSOL creates automatically variables for "lumped" voltage, current and resistance / impedance, so you do not need to define all the integrations / equations ...

Good luck

Thanks! It worked and converged, but I still can't get the value,How to display the variable value?Thanks!

Hi

you need to calcualte it from the Results derived values ... y getting the voltage divided by the integration of the current density => gives ou the average resisitance
