12.3. Current Densities

The output includes various element current densities (JS, JT, and JC item labels). As shown in the following table, their meaning depends upon the type of low-frequency electromagnetic analysis.

Table 12.8: Current Densities in Low-Frequency Analyses

Current Density LabelLow-Frequency Electric AnalysisLow-Frequency Magnetic Analysis
JSTotal element current density. It is the sum of the element conduction and the displacement current densities. It may be used as a source for a subsequent magnetostatic analysis.Source current density.
JTElement conduction current density.Total measurable element current density.
JCNodal conduction current density.
