This AVA presents how ANSYS simulation tools can be used to model both electric and thermal effects within the ANSYS Pantheon, using Joule heating in Maxwell and Icepak as an example of one-way and two-way coupling. In this AVA session, Application Engineer Graham Stevens will cover: - ANSYS electric and thermal modeling packages and how to select from among competing options - How to examine electric/thermal analysis complexity — Do I need to model two-way coupling, or is one-way sufficient? Is steady-state analysis en
