Extracting the heat source without running the thermal model

This topic has been transferred from Github discussions.

I’m running an electrochemical model (SPM) for now and am looking to calculate the heat source Q described in the thermal lumped model. I don’t need to calculate the temperature flow through the battery. Is there a way I can calculate Q without running the thermal model, i.e. just by calculating Q from the outputs of the SPM.

There is an option “calculate heat source for isothermal models” which you can set to “true”, then variables like “Total heating [W]” will be non-zero.
