Dear all,

In the electrical simulation in the Ansys workbench,

For a single solid part of a given material, when the voltage is the input, we can find the Joule heat per volume ( J / m^3).

We know that from Joule's heating,

H = V^2 / R

Where,

V is the applied voltage

R is the resistance of the solid

H is the joule heat

Using the H value from the simulation, with known voltage we can calculate the resistance of the solid.

Given below is an assembly that is electrically heated.

The top two electrical contacts are given 0V (ground) and the input voltage is applied to the other two electrical contacts in the bottom and due to the Joule heating effect heat is generated on all the parts in the assembly.

Hello Array nThe procedure you mentioned looks good to me. You could insert a Joule heat probe to the entire body, this would give you H( for the total assembly) and then using H = V^2 / R, you could get R for the whole assembly.nnRegards,nIshan.n
