I am trying to simulate the structure of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) in Comsol Multiphysics and analyse the potential generated at the terminal through the Seebeck effect. Still, I am getting errors during the study. Are there any resources that I can refer to for simulating TEG in COMSOL multiphysics?
I applied temperature boundary conditions for both the heat source and heat sink in heat transfer in the solids section and terminal boundary conditions for the terminal using a circuit option in the electric current section
What boundary conditions should we select for the simulation?
