ProductsAbaqus/Standard Coupling arises from two sources: the conductivity in the electrical problem is temperature dependent, and the internal heat generated in the thermal problem is a function of electrical current. The thermal part of the problem includes all the heat conduction and heat storage (specific and latent heat) features described in Uncoupled heat transfer analysis. (Forced heat convection caused by fluid flowing through the mesh is not considered.) The thermal-electrical elements have both temperature and electrical potential as nodal variables. This section describes the governing equilibrium equations, the constitutive model, boundary conditions, the surface interaction model, finite element discretization, and the components of the Jacobian used. |
