Induced current in a thin wire

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I am working with a 3D RF module. I wish to obtain the current along a long thin wire in the EM field. To reduce the meshing I modeled the wire as a conductor edge.

From www.comsol.com/community/forums/general/thread/899/
It is suggested that the current can be obtained from a line integral of the surface current if the wire is modeled as a cylinder.

From 2nd scenario of above thread it appears I can use a line integral of H_azimuthal to obtain the current from the conductor edge.

Is there a more straightforward solution now in comsol 4.1 that I can easily obtain the current along the continuous location on the wire?

Thanks.
