Feature tested

User subroutine to define electrical conductance between surfaces in a coupled thermal-electrical simulation.

Problem description

In coupled thermal-electrical analyses user subroutine GAPELECTR is used to define the electrical conductance between two surfaces as a function of their temperatures, the gap between them, and any field variables. The problem definition is the same as in the verification file ei22vsjc.inp (Coupled thermal-electrical surface interaction, Section 1.7.3), where the gap electrical conductance is defined directly on the data lines of the *GAP ELECTRICAL CONDUCTANCE option as a function of the average temperature.

Results and discussion

The results match the verified results of ei22vsjc.inp.
