EMS comes with an integrated thermal steady-state and transient solver. EMS automatically computes the joule, eddy, and core losses and feeds them into the thermal solver. You may readily add non-electromagnetic heat loadings by applying volume heat, heat flux, or simply fixed temperature. Considering the environment conditions such as convection and radiation, EMS thermal steady-state and transient computes the temperature, temperature gradient, and heat flux and saves them to "Thermal Results" folder. Since the thermal solver is integrated in the electromagnetic solvers, it uses the same model and mesh. There is no need to export and import any data.
The Thermal module is primarily used for computing temperature distribution due to electromagnetic losses. It has many practical applications, including:
After running a study with the thermal solution option on, you can view the following thermal quantities:
where:
x, y, and z refer to the global coordinate system.
The Thermal module can help study many devices and address numerous phenomena.
