I am trying to run the FEM simulations of an Si anode material used in a lithium ion battery. I am able to impose the equivalent thermal stress on the material. However, I wonder how to specify the charging rate (fast/slow insertion of lithium ions into Si) of the anode in the lithium ion battery while doing FEM simulations using ABAQUS?
Have you ever considered using the COMSOL Multiphysics program that allows for entering coupled systems of partial differential equations (PDEs).?
Thanks James Deluca for your answer. Some researcher have used COMSOL application for such kind of applications. However, I do not know how to use that software. As, I used ABAQUS for couple of problems, therefore, I was preferring to use the ABAQUS to specify the charging rate. Anyways, if it would be difficult / impossible to use this, then I would have no way but to use COMSOL multiphysics. Do you know any other program that allows for entering coupled systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) and easy to use?
Dear Nadeem, I am sorry that I do not know how to direct you. Actually, I am a material Science Chemist and I am working on new thin film materials such as hybrid (amorphous) metal:(crystalline) metal oxide nanocrystals that may be applicable to improve anodes for Lithium Ion batteries. I actually do not have skills in this area but recognize how important they are. I saw a demonstration about COMSOL multiphysics applications and they said that if you contact them with a particular problem that with their engineers they would be able to offer potential solutions. Here is a direct communication for you.
