How to integrate current density

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,everyone.I'm a new learner of this software.Now,I have a question.
I am doing research on gas discharge, in which a special detection probe is set up. I want to ask how to integrate the current density on the probe surface.The attached picture is the probe model I set(My picture failed to upload. Here, you can imagine the probe as a cuboid, then my question is how to integrate the current density on the surface of this cuboid against the area).
Urgently need your help!!

Assuming you have already executed the model, go to Results, right-click on Derived Values and choose Integration, then Surface Integration. Then, choose your surfaces and enter the current distribution expression that you want to integrate.

Oh,I know!So thanks.
Did you use this way?Can I refer to the current distribution expression you have used? I don't know what form should be used.Looking forward to your answer.
Next,I need find the current distribution expression.

The physics of your problem may impact your choice of expressions to use. I encourage you to work through some of the tutorial examples provided by Comsol. To obtain more specific advice for a particular problem, I suggest that you to post your model to the forum.
