Hi,
Im trying to model a peltier device with airflow over the surface however I'm struggling to:
A) link the thermoelectic legs to a plastic/ceramic top and bottom layer
B) link the thermoelectric to a conjugate heat transfer physics model.
Was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice ?
Thanks

you can use beams and shells modules or the multibody module.

I'm currently using the 4.4 software so I'm unable to use shells/structural mechanics. My biggest issue with the modelling is getting realistic current densities. The supplied model in the verification model library seems to require 700,00A/m^2 to maintain a 60K temperature gradient over 6mm.

As I'm trying to model a 1x1x1mm pellet and the current/length of pellet seem to be inversely proportional do you have any advice?

Thanks
Shaun
