Set Specify to Performance parameters, general model to apply user defined heat rates on each side of the module. Set values or expressions for the Heat rate, node 1 and the Heat rate, node 2. In this formulation, the nodes 1 and 2 may refer to any side of the module, and the heat rate expressions may depend on the temperature difference and on the current intensity, among other variables. The temperature difference can be accessed through the lts.TEM1.DT variable, when the component name is TEM1, in a physics interface with tag lts.

Set Specify to Thermal and geometric properties to use Equation 6-22 and Equation 6-23 to characterize the module. Set values or expressions for the operating Electric current, I, and the Number of thermocouples, N (composed each of one p-type and one n-type semiconductors) in the thermoelectric module. Then the material and geometric properties should be set in the P-Type Semiconductor Parameters, N-Type Semiconductor Parameters, and Ceramic Plate Parameters section that display underneath.
