hi , i am using Electric-thermal module to simulate joule heating effect. I wonder , i had not specified specific heat of the object in the customized engineering material but still ansys gives out the result regarding temperature field on the application of V and Vo boundary condition. As far i know Only specific heat is the property which related the power(watts) and temperature. Can anybody enlighten me.
