Importing a capacitor model

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

i want to simulate a capacitor to check its ESR variation with time at different temperatures. I want to check it for a commercial capacitor, how can i import a commercial capacitor say an electrolytic caoacitor by panasonic model in COMSOL

When you say you want to import a capacitor to check ESR, I think you mean a 3D model, correct? I don't think any commercial vendor posts 3D simulation models. They may post a solid works model or similar that allows for physical modeling for placement and dimensions but in that case, you don't know the internals of how the capacitor is built and materials used. It is just a dummy object. I doubt very much that a commerical company will share any details like that.
