How to simulate frequency-dependent conductivity of biological tissue using EM LF Electro Ohmic Quasi-Static solver?

[gotou]

Hello,
I’m currently working on a simulation involving electrical stimulation of biological tissue. I am using the EM LF Electro Ohmic Quasi-Static solver and varying the frequency to compare current flow in the tissue.

Since biological tissue conductivity is frequency-dependent, I would like to reflect this property in my simulation. Therefore, I have selected the IT'IS Database, rather than the IT'IS LF Database, to account for frequency-dependent changes in conductivity.

However, when I use the IT'IS Database, I receive a warning message recommending that I switch to the LF (low-frequency) version of the database.

How can I run a simulation where the tissue conductivity remains frequency-dependent, while still using the EM LF Electro Ohmic Quasi-Static solver?
If changing the solver is necessary to achieve this, I would appreciate any suggestions on which solver to use and how to proceed.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

You can run an LF simulation with the normal (non-LF) database: just ignore the warning.

However, please note that the Gabriel Cole-Cole model (which is used in the standard IT'IS database) was primarily fitted using measurements above 1 MHz. For example, the conductivity of the skin is about 2 orders of magnitude smaller than the well-accepted value (see LF database).
I believe that at lower frequencies, there are currently not enough measurements in the literature to justify fitting a frequency-dependent model.
