In brief:
I have multiple Domains (14 bodies) in a simulation and I want to apply the potential/joule heating JUST in three bodies (domains).
However, the heat flux shall propagate through every domain and lead to thermal stresses in the overall structure.
I like to set up the following:
1. potential/electric field evolves an electric current
2. electric current results in liberated heat by joule heating
3. the liberated heat drives the thermal expansion und results in thermal stresses
I do need to say, that I reviewed multiple examples for elmer. [e.g. Tutorial 9: Thermal actuator driven with electrostatic currents, http://www.nic.funet.fi/index/elmer/doc ... nonGUI.pdf, 2017.Sept.11]
However, I did not find any example that explains how to.
I know it must be pretty simple - nevertheless I'd appreciate if someone could give me a hint...
Cheers
