Hi. David:

In your example there are only 7 coils. But practically there can be hundreds or even thousands of coils. How can one assign all those coils the circuit propeties automatically without having to assign it one after another?

Thanks.

If you define a "source current density," this is defines the current that
you would get at 0 Hz.  At nonzero frequencies, in conductive regions, some
of the current gets bucked by inductance.

For your purposes, you want to apply currents via "circuit" properties, which
are really constraints on the total current carried in a region.  Then, the
current redistributes itself due to eddy current effects, but the total amount
of current is constrained to a certain value.

I've attached a zipped example of  a 7-turn coil.  Each turn has a "circuit"
constraint applied to it so that each turn carries exactly 1 amp.  The example
is run a 10 kHz, so that there are some noticable skin and prox. effects.

Dave.
