Hello Guys!!!

I would like to model electroplating process in Ansys in order to get the uniform material distribution by changing the location of anodes. I started with Electric Module in Ansys 16.0 and create 4 anodes, a cathode and electrolyte bath( as a paper showed)then applied current to all of the anodes, and o V as a potential on the cathode. However, after getting the results, when I checked directional current density ,Cathode was disappeared.1. what's wrong with my model. 2.Should i perform any other steps to reach the most accurate results? 3- if you have any experience, guidance,etc. it should be beneficial. I appreciate you in advance.
