This repository shows how to model heat transfer in an electric car’s battery pack in Q-Bat from QuickerSim. The model consists 96 lithium prismatic cells (96s1p), terminals, connectors, holders, casing and cooling plates and is connected to a reduced-order model (ROM) to model heat transfer in 3D geometry. Two cooling plates are used to maintain the optimum temperature range in the battery packs.

In this example, it is shown how to check for a mesh independent solution. Three meshes with the different numbers of elements are prepared and used in simulation to compare the results.
