Hello!
Not so long ago I started using Mechanical APDL to solve thermal conductivity problems and I had one question. I am modeling a two-dimensional temperature field on a slice of a multi-chip module made of different materials, where the chips are internal heat sources. The chip sizes are 0.012 x 0.0005 m (12x0.5 mm). I want to set their power equal to 10 watts. In order for me to get a solution close to reality, I have to set the power of internal sources in Mechanical APDL somewhere around 10^9. Why is this happening? What is this value representing?
