Do you have any idea why my calculated DC resistance gets messed up when the bulk conductivity of the material becomes less than 1? If the conductivity is 1.01 S/m I get a resistance around 1.5k but when my conductivity of the material is set to .99S/m I get a resistance of aprox infinity. Any ideas?
I could not apply this method to complex shapes. I wanted to measure the total resistance for all body but found a better way. Entering 'Results - Solution data' and dividing the Total Loss (W) by the voltage becomes the current (I = W / V) and dividing I by V to get the resistance(R = V/I). :)

Thank you, your explanation of the current calculation helps a lot, also for more complex conductor shapes.
Could this method be applied for measuring AC resistance?
barney133 edycurrent give you AC resistance.

great..
