Peltier Cooler dialog box (Thermal/SST/ESC/Multiphysics)

Name
Name	Lets you specify a name for the simulation object.Description opens an editor that lets you type a description for the constraint.
Destination Folder
Simulation Object Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.
Folder Manager	Displays a hierarchical listing of existing folders. To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Cold Plate Region/Hot Plate Region
Group Reference	Lets you apply the primary or secondary coupling region to a group.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Lets you select both the cold and hot sets of elements, or the geometry on which those elements are defined.Element Selection Filtering lets you limit your element selection to the FE entity you select from the Filter Type list:0D Elements, 1D Elements, or 2D Elements lets you select only elements of that order.Element Edges lets you select 1D elements, the edges of 2D, or 3D elements.Element Faces lets you select 2D elements or the faces of 3D elements.Caution: You must select Element from the main selection Type Filter list to use the Element Selection Filtering options.Excluded lets you remove individual entities from within your selected object.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Parameters
Seebeck Coefficient	Sets the value provided by the manufacturer. For more information, see Additional magnitude options.
Electrical Resistivity	Sets the value provided by the manufacturer. For more information, see Additional magnitude options.
Thermal Conductivity	Sets the value provided by the manufacturer. For more information, see Additional magnitude options.
Number of Couples	Sets the number of couples that separate the hot and cold plates in the Peltier Cooler.
Geometric Factor	Sets the geometric factor provided by the manufacturer.
Electrical Boundary Condition	Specifies how the value of the electrical boundary condition is obtained.VoltageSets the voltage that you specify in the Voltage box.CurrentSets the current that you specify in the Current box. For more information, see Additional magnitude options.
Temperature Dependence Uses	Specifies which temperature is used to evaluate the magnitude when temperature-varying function is used. You can define a temperature dependency in table fields, formula fields, 4D fields, and table of fields.Average TemperatureUses the average temperature of primary and secondary regions to evaluate the magnitude.Primary TemperatureUses the temperature of the primary region to evaluate the magnitude.For more information, see Temperature dependency for thermal and electrical couplings.
