SimLab Multiphysics problem

I have installed student version of SimLab and would like to use it for solving the following multiphysics problem (transient heat transfer coupled to DC transport current):

Thin Cu tape (0.16 x 3.238 x 160 mm) is immersed in liquid nitrogen bath. To the tape is applied a single rectangular DC current pulse of 100 ms duration. I want to see time depence of the temperature distribution during the pulse in the tape centre along its 16 mm length distance.

The Cu resistivity, specific heat, thermal conductivity and convection heat coefficient are temperature dependent (data from table). 

Amplitude of the each current pulse will be set in the range of 10 - 100 A.

My question - is the SimLab suitable application for solving such coupled problem? If yes, do you have available some model solving a similar problem?

If the SimLab is not suitable for such problem, can you recommend another one?

    I'd say that this can be done in SimLab by combining Eletromagnetic simulation in Flux with AcuSolve solver, both inside SimLab.

    There might be some video in the SimLab Learning Center,that can be found in SimLab forum. I've never done this, but i'd say it might be possible.
