We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Although that's very thin, if the geometry allows a hex mesh of 3D geometry it may still produce a good through thickness solution, even if the aspect ratio is huge.  There isn't an Ansys shell element with through thickness electrical properties.  If you didn't need the Seebeck/Peltier effect, electric contact could have been used.
