Key Feature 1 – CHT with Joule Heating
CHT with Joule Heating introduces the ability to
combine electrical conduction effects with conjugate
heat transfer for electronics cooling simulation.
• Combines electric conduction with conjugate heat
transfer in a single simulation
• Supports free or forced convection cooling
simulations

Benefits
• Improves results of thermal simulation by
accurately modeling internal heat sources
• Enables modeling of busbars, fuses, conductors,
and electronic traces
