How to Modelling skin effect in FEKO?

I would like to observe the skin effect of circular solid conductors and tubular conductors by using feko software. how can I do this?

also, I would like to model the double-layered composite conductor to observe the skin effect behavior.

I want to obtain the current density distribution over the cross-section of the conductor at different frequencies. how can I do this?

    As an alternative solution, Altair Flux can calculate the current distributions affected by the skin effect. 

    (The following result is not the current, but the magnetic field inside a conductor. The way is the same.)

    As the current travels through the skin of the conductor, modeling the thickness numerically (assigning the face medium to metal and specifying the thickness) is accurate enough for regular EM analysis and this is how metals are modeled in Feko. However, to look at the current density distribution across the cross-section, one needs to model the metal as a 3D volume, which is not possible in Feko.

    thank you so much for your kind reply. it means not possible to analyze skin effect using FEKO. unfortunately.

    I hope it will be possible in the new coming FEKO versions.
