Hi Sam,

Thanks for the clarification.

What is it that you are hoping to acheive with the contact that "bends
round the corner? Naively I would say that you could construct the
system that I have attached as an image. Essentially you would just
add the part of the lead that "bends round the system" as an explicit
part of the scattering region.

What were you hoping to achieve by attaching two leads in the first
place?
