Modelling of stranded conductor

Hallo, I am trying to model and simulate a stranded conductor (4 Strands) with rectangular cross-section and the model is built 2D axisymmetric.
As excitation, I have define a single turn coil (option coil group not choosen) and gave it to all 4 strands. However, the result is not like I expected.
Can anyone tell me whether this current distribution is correct？ The line graph is the current density on the line which is drawn through the middle of the conductor.
It would be much better if someone could give me a finished model of a stranded conductor no matter round wire or rectangular wire, so that I can compare it with my model.
Thank you very much!

I have also tried to give each strand a single turn coil and the current distribution looks like this in this case. I am not sure which is correct.
