resistance and power dissipation from StatCurrentSolver
Posted: 07 May 2017, 02:30
Hi all,
Recently I've been working with the StatCurrentSolver and I've found that when you use "Current Control" (current fixed at Ic) the solver outputs the dissipated power as a function of the potential inposed on BC insead of power dissipated by Ic.
In my simulation (see results below) I've set Ic=10A but the "Total Heating Power" is referred to "Total Current" (2715A) which is a consequence of the BC set in the sif file. Of course, you can use the control scaling to obtain the righ amount of power but still, I would have though I would be getting a straight answer.
Can I access and manipulate those variables ("Total Heating Power", "Total Current", ....) via sif file? Can I save them in a file?
Any help would be much appreciated,
Best regards,
Marco
