Hello,
I am trying to calculate the current at a resistor (a simple cylindrical volume) whose conductivity dependents on the applied voltage, the simulation should be time dependent. To prevent circular relations I think it is necessary to compute the voltage first and after that calculate the conductivity for the next time step. Is that thought right?
Could someone tell me how I could realize such a stepwise calculation?
Best regards
Sebastian
PS I'm using Comsol 4.2
