Exporting Currents on a Wire

The currents flowing on a wire can be exported to a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file. Since the current is calculated at the midpoint of each wire segment, the current distribution is sampled at a finite set of points determined by the number of segments the wire is divided into. Additionally, as the current varies with frequency, there is a unique current distribution along the wire for each frequency.

To export the current distribution as a function of position along a selected wire and as a function of frequency, follow these steps:

1. Click the Select Wire button (arrow icon) in the toolbar.
2. Left-click on the wire to select it (it will be highlighted in light blue).
3. Navigate to the Results menu > Export Currents in the main menu (see Fig. 1).

The complex current (real and imaginary parts) is tabulated based on the position along the wire. Position and frequency units can be configured in the Preferences window.

Note:

• Position is measured from the start point of the selected wire (the end without the arrow when selected).
• The exported CSV file contains the real and imaginary parts of the current as a function of position and frequency, as shown in Fig. 2.
