- Electro-thermal coupling. Copper's resistance rises 0.393 %/°C, so a hot neck dissipates more and runs hotter still.
- Every run: reports the first-order extra Joule heat at the solved temperatures (
review.electroThermal), and raises anelectro-thermalissue when it is over 10 %. - With spec
electroThermal: true: a second full pass solves the current and the heat with every copper cell at its solved temperature. - On the 20 A ESC: Joule +33 % (the estimate said +34 %), and the peak rise goes from 109 to 119 °C.
- Every run: reports the first-order extra Joule heat at the solved temperatures (
- Heating transients. Spec
transient{durationS, steps, powerScale, fromSteady} steps the still-air heat system through time (implicit Euler, on geometric time steps).- Heat capacities: copper, FR4 and the solid bodies by material.
- Results: the board peak and each hot part's rise over time, and each part's time constant to 63 % of its steady rise.
- Uses: a motor stall at 3× power, a hot-plug surge, how long a part can run before it overheats.
- On the buck: U1 takes about 2 minutes, L1 about 3.

- **Electro-thermal coupling.** Copper's resistance rises 0.393 %/°C, so a hot neck dissipates more and runs hotter still.
- **Every run:** reports the first-order extra Joule heat at the solved temperatures (`review.electroThermal`), and raises an `electro-thermal` issue when it is over 10 %.
- **With spec `electroThermal: true`:** a second full pass solves the current and the heat with every copper cell at its solved temperature.
- **On the 20 A ESC:** Joule +33 % (the estimate said +34 %), and the peak rise goes from 109 to 119 °C.
- **Heating transients.** Spec `transient` {durationS, steps, powerScale, fromSteady} steps the still-air heat system through time (implicit Euler, on geometric time steps).
- **Heat capacities:** copper, FR4 and the solid bodies by material.
- **Results:** the board peak and each hot part's rise over time, and each part's time constant to 63 % of its steady rise.
- **Uses:** a motor stall at 3× power, a hot-plug surge, how long a part can run before it overheats.
