Joule Heating + Skin effect

$

Hi to all,

I want to simulate the group effect of skin effect and Joule heating in a conductor. So I built a simple model of a conducting block and used Magnetic and Electric Fields (mef) and Heat transfer in Solids module. The frequency domain analysis solves nicely and I am able to get a plot of mef.Qe (EM power loss density) with the power losses concentrated on the edge, as it should be.

But I am unable to use this calculated EM power density in the Heat transfer module. I used Heat source option, but the structure doesn't seem to heat up if I use prepared electromagnetic general source options or if I type in mef.Qe as a User defined General source.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards
Matija
