Can thermoelectricity be applied to “thin shell” theory?

      I am using a "thermal-electric model" to simulate a thermoelectric cooler.

      I would like to ask if the modeling of thin shells can be used in this model?

      If the answer is yes, can someone give an example?

      Tks.

      Hi

      We have shell157 (thermoelectric) - see help manual for more info on the element, but it is not exposed inside the thermal-electric system in Workbench.

      There are no examples as it is not natively exposed as mentioned.

      All the best

      So if I want to simulate a thin film (the thickness about 3.5 nm) thermoelectric cooler, what method should I use?
      In addition, can shell175 be opened with workbench?
