Reply To: Direct electro-thermo mechnical model

[S.Heilmann]

Dear Bijan,

if you use Workbench you don't have a direct model to solve the three physics.

You can do a thermal electric analysis and give these results to a mechanical model (here you don't need APDL commands, but thats not what you want)

 

For the direct coupling you can use any of the model in workbench, because you have to change the element type, the contacts and the boundary conditions using APDL commands. It would be clever to use a modell where you have the most boundary conditions without APDL

If you have some special questions you can ask again, but for the start I guess the internet will help you

e.g.
