current and temperature dependent conductivity (sigma(T,j) )

I am trying to model a conducting wire, where the conductivity depends both on the actual temperature and the actual current density. The temperature dependence is no problem. But I don´t know how to add the j dependecny.
I am using the electric current and heat tansfer modules. Is it only possible to solve linear equations?
Sigma(T,j) would be non-linear, as j also depends on the temperature.
Thanks for any help or comments

I am actually trying to simulate the same nonlinear conductivity as in your case. I tried to simply make a conductivity that is a function of the current density, but I get an error when I do this. I know you posted your question a while ago, but I was wondering if you figured out how to implement this nonlinear conductivity in COMSOL. I would greatly appreciate any help or hints you can give me. Thanks
