In this article, an efficient transient electricalthermal co-simulation method based on the finite element method (FEM) and the discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) method is developed for electrical-thermal coupling analysis of multiscale structures. Two Independent meshes are adopted by the steady electrical analysis and the transient thermal simulation to avoid redundant overhead. In order to enhance the feasibility and efficiency of solving multiscale and sophisticated structures, a local time stepping (LTS) technique coupled with an interpolation method is incorporated into the co-simulation method. Several numerical examples from simple structures to complex multiscale PDN structures are carried out to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method by comparing with the COMSOL. Finally, two practical numerical examples are considered to confirm the performance of the proposed method for complex and multiscale structures.
