Hello! I am using SimScale for a time-harmonic magnetic simulation with thermal simulation coupling. The simulator will calculate a temperature rise (see fig) but it is not clear for this simulation what duration this temperature rise is over. How can you tell what the duration of the simulation is?…

Hi @jonbmartin , To my understanding, the temperature rise is calculated for the steady-state regime, taking the energy balance into account. I’ll double check this information with the EMAG team and get back to you as soon as I have a reply. Cheers

Hi @jonbmartin , thanks for posting on the forum and welcome to the SimScale Community :handshake: Keep in mind time-harmonic magnetics is not a transient solver, that’s why you can’t modify it. What you’re looking for should be Time-Transient Magnetics . Unfortunately thermal coupling is not curren…

I see, thank you! My main problem is knowing how the temperature rise is calculated with the time-harmonic magnetics. I would assume there is some fixed duration set somewhere to get a temperature change in the thermal coupling simulation? Is this a given quantity anywhere? I can’t find it in the d…

Ah, nice! That makes sense. Thanks @igaviano!
