Requesting Currents
Add a request to calculate the currents in the model to be displayed in POSTFEKO.
Tip: The storage of currents in large models can lead to large output files.
When using adaptive (continuous frequency) sampling, the interpolation of currents
could increase the number of frequencies required for solution convergence as well
as the total runtime. In general it is recommended to calculate the required
currents at specific frequencies only.
Tip: If a continuous frequency solution is performed, add a second
(standard) configuration to calculate currents at specific frequencies only.

On the Request tab, in the
Solution Requests group, click the
Currents
icon.
Figure 1. The Request Currents dialog. 
-
From the drop-down list, select one of the following:
- To request all currents in the model, select All currents.
- To request currents only on segments and triangles with specified labels, select Only currents on specified labels.
- To request currents only on wire segments, select Only segment currents.
- To request currents only on triangles, select Only triangle currents.
- [Optional] Select the Export currents to ASCII file (*.os/*.ol) check box to export the currents to a .os file and the charges to a .ol file.
- [Optional] Select the Export currents to *.out file check box to export the currents to the .out file.
- In the Label field, add a unique label for the request.
- Click Create to request the currents and charges result and to close the dialog.
