Note — Your finite element model may intermix certain coupled-field elements with the VOLT degree
of freedom To be compatible, the elements must have the same reaction force (see Element
Compatib-ility in the ANSYS Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Analysis Guide).
The coupled-field element contains all the necessary degrees of freedom It handles the field coupling by
calcu-lating the appropriate element matrices (matrix coupling) or element load vectors (load vector coupling) In linear
problems with matrix coupling, coupled-field interaction is calculated in one iteration Load vector coupling quires at least two iterations to achieve a coupled response Nonlinear problems are iterative for both matrixand load vector coupling Table 7.2: “Coupling Methods Used in Direct Coupled-Field Analyses” lists the differenttypes of coupled-field analyses available in the ANSYS Multiphysics product using the direct method, and which
re-type of coupling is present in each See the ANSYS, Inc Theory Reference for more details about matrix versus load
vector coupling

Note — Coupled-field elements that use load vector coupling are not valid in a substructure analysis.
Within the substructure generation pass, no iterative solution is available; therefore, the ANSYS programignores all load vector and feedback coupling effects
Because of the possible extreme nonlinear behavior of load vector coupled field elements, you may need to usethe predictor and line search options to achieve convergence Chapter 8, “Nonlinear Structural Analysis” in the
ANSYS Structural Analysis Guide describes these options.
To speed up convergence in a coupled-field transient analysis, you may turn off the time integration effects forany DOFs that are not a concern For example, if structural inertial and damping effects can be ignored in a
thermal-structural transient analysis, you can issue TIMINT,OFF,STRUC to turn off the time integration effects
for the structural DOFs
Of the analysis types listed above, this chapter explains how to do thermal-electric, piezoelectric, piezoresistive,structural-thermal, structural-thermal-electric, magneto-structural, and electrostatic-structural analyses

Trang 157.2 Thermal-Electric Analysis
This analysis, available in the ANSYS Multiphysics product, can account for the following thermoelectric effects:
• Joule heating - Heating occurs in a conductor carrying an electric current Joule heat is proportional to the
square of the current, and is independent of the current direction
• Seebeck effect - A voltage (Seebeck EMF) is produced in a thermoelectric material by a temperature
differ-ence The induced voltage is proportional to the temperature differdiffer-ence The proportionality coefficient
is know as the Seebeck coefficient (α)
• Peltier effect - Cooling or heating occurs at the junction of two dissimilar thermoelectric materials when
an electric current flows through the junction Peltier heat is proportional to the current, and changessign if the current direction is reversed
• Thomson effect - Heat is absorbed or released in a non-uniformly heated thermoelectric material when
electric current flows through it Thomson heat is proportional to the current, and changes sign if thecurrent direction is reversed
Typical applications include heating coils, fuses, thermocouples, and thermoelectric coolers and generators For
more information, refer to Thermoelectrics in the ANSYS, Inc Theory Reference.
7.2.1 Elements Used in a Thermal-Electric Analysis
The ANSYS program includes a variety of elements you can use to model thermal-electric coupling
Table 7.3: “Elements Used in Thermal-Electric Analyses” summarizes them briefly For detailed descriptions of
the elements and their characteristics (DOFs, KEYOPT options, inputs and outputs, etc.), see the ANSYS Elements
Reference.
LINK68, PLANE67, SOLID69, and SHELL157 are special purpose thermal-electric elements The coupled-fieldelements (SOLID5, SOLID98, PLANE223, SOLID226, and SOLID227 ) require you to select the element DOFs for athermal-electric analysis: TEMP and VOLT For SOLID5 and SOLID98, set KEYOPT(1) to 0 or 1 For PLANE223,SOLID226, and SOLID227, set KEYOPT(1) to 110

7.2.2 Performing a Thermal-Electric Analysis
The analysis can be either steady-state (ANTYPE,STATIC) or transient (ANTYPE,TRANS) It follows the same
pro-cedure as a steady-state or transient thermal analysis (See Steady-State Thermal Analysis and Transient Thermal
Analysis in the ANSYS Thermal Analysis Guide.)
To perform a thermal-electric analysis, you need to specify the element type and material properties For Jouleheating effects, you must define both electrical resistivity (RSVX, RSVY, RSVZ) and thermal conductivity (KXX,KYY, KZZ) Mass density (DENS), specific heat (C), and enthalpy (ENTH) may be defined to take into accountthermal transient effects These properties may be constant or temperature-dependent
A transient analysis using PLANE223, SOLID226, or SOLID227 can account for both transient thermal and transientelectrical effects You must define electric permittivity (PERX, PERY, PERZ) to model the transient electrical effects
A transient analysis using LINK68, PLANE67, SOLID69, SOLID5, SOLID98, or SHELL157 can only account for sient thermal effects
tran-To include the Seebeck-Peltier thermoelectric effects, you need to specify a PLANE223, SOLID226, or SOLID227
element type and a Seebeck coefficient (SBKX, SBKY, SBKZ) (MP) You also need to specify the temperature offset from zero to absolute zero (TOFFST) To capture the Thomson effect, you need to specify the temperature de- pendence of the Seebeck coefficient (MPDATA).
PLANE67 and PLANE223 assume a unit thickness; they do not allow thickness input If the actual thickness (t) isnot uniform, you need to adjust the material properties as follows: multiply the thermal conductivity and density
by t, and divide the electrical resistivity by t
Be sure to define all data in consistent units For example, if the current and voltage are specified in amperesand volts, you must use units of watts/length-degree for thermal conductivity The output Joule heat will then
be in watts
For problems with convergence difficulties, activate the line search capability (LNSRCH).
See Section 7.9: Sample Thermoelectric Cooler Analysis (Batch or Command Method) and Section 7.10: SampleThermoelectric Generator Analysis (Batch or Command Method) for example problems
7.3 Piezoelectric Analysis
Piezoelectrics is the coupling of structural and electric fields, which is a natural property of materials such asquartz and ceramics Applying a voltage to a piezoelectric material creates a displacement, and vibrating apiezoelectric material generates a voltage A typical application of piezoelectric analysis is a pressure transducer.Possible piezoelectric analysis types (available in the ANSYS Multiphysics or ANSYS Mechanical products only)are static, modal, prestressed modal, harmonic, prestressed harmonic, and transient
