Hello,

I am currently working in maxwell with two conductors that have a surface of contact. These two conductors are made of different materials and therefore maxwell computes two paths of current instead of one. Thus, when I apply a current in the entry of the first conductor and another in the exit of the second I get an error saying:

'In one solid conduction path, at least two external currents should be specified'

Do you know how I can 'impose' a contact between them for maxwell to understand only one path of current ?

Thanks

Hello, to impose a contact between the two materials and have Maxwell understand it as a single path of current, you may need to create a terminal (sheet object) that matches the cross-section of the conductor at the desired location for the contact. This terminal can then be used to apply the excitation (current/voltage) across the contact surface.
