CST STUDIO SUITE™ 2008

Application and Feature Tutorial

EM Thermal Co-Simulation

Workflow
-Material Settings
-Boundaries
-Losses
Examples

1 ube / v1.0 / 14. Sep 2007 www.cst.com


Steps for EM-Thermal Co-
Simulation
1. Choose Template “Thermal Cosimulation” to
activate intersection check
2. Define thermal material properties and
boundaries
3. Define E- and H-field monitors for surface and
volume losses.
4. Start HF Simulation.
5. Switch to Thermal Problem Class.
6. Define Thermal Sources in CST EMS. Perform
the Temperature Simulation.

Thermal Material Properties

For any material (incl.


background!) the correct
thermal conductivity has to
be defined.

5 www.cst.com
Thermal Intersection check
 For EM Simulation PEC materials always get priority over dielectrics, when
overlapping  no boolean operation required
 However, in the thermal solver, both PEC and dielectric are typically type normal
(finite thermal conductivity) and have to be intersected.
 The thermal interaction flag checks, if all objects are properly intersected. This flag
has to be activated before EM solver starts. Template is added for conveniance.

HF-Thermal coupling
Thermal material properties
and thermal boundary conditions
may be changed without deleting HF-results.

Exception: Boundary conditions that change the


calculation domain (symmetries, open add space)
still delete all results.

Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin


as units are supported
7 www.cst.com
Thermal Boundaries and Symmetries
In waveguide port planes as well as for magnetic Symmetry
Planes, typically adiabatic should be chosen

Activate CST MWS losses as thermal sources

During S-Parameter Simulations


MWS monitors are normalized to
1W peak (=0.5 W rms) input power at
the port. This factor allows scaling to
the real applied input power.

Examples:
5 W rms  factor = 10
500 W rms  factor = 1000
2mW rms  factor = 0.004

Applies volume and surface losses new in 2008:


also losses from dispersive dielectrics
calculated by the E and H Fields from and dielectric tan(delta) are
CST MWS as thermal sources. considered in thermal volume losses
(volume loss requires E- or J-monitor,
surface loss requires H-monitor)
9 www.cst.com
CST MWS normalization of
result values
1) S-Parameter – Simulations: 1W peak input power
2) Eigenmode Simulations: 1J total stored energy in mode
3) plane wave simulations: specified electric field amplitude
(peak value)
4) discrete voltage or current port: specified current/voltage
amplitude (peak value)

 simultaneous port excitations / combine results: final norming


results by multiplying the given amplitudes with the above
scaling (1-4)

Convection + Radiation losses
Convection- and radiation-properties
can be assigned to a chain of faces.
Internally this is represented by a lossy
surface boundary condition, which is
temperature dependent .

Radiated power:
qR = σ (T-Tback)4 Area

with:

σ = σr σSB

σr : Emissivity 0...1

Thermal HEX solver
Stationary current field
Thermal losses caused by
electric currents can be used as
a driving source for a thermal
problem (HF + LF and
Stationary currents)

Microwave oven from Delonghi

-Food model has a small variation of


eps with the temperature
-The results show where the food
absorbed more EM-energy.
- Depending on the field distribution in
the cavity the hot spots can be easily
identified
-We thank Dr. Ruggero Roccari and Dr.
Sergio Serena from Delonghi for their
work on the test case

Summary / Outlook

• Thermal Solver is able to read power sources from:


• CST MWS – Monitor, calculated by T or F hex solver
• CST MWS - Eigenmode
• CST EMS - LF solver
• CST PS - absorbed power by hitting particles

• simplified user handling (materials / boundaries)

• near future: transient thermal solver
