Thermal steady state analysis

Perform a thermal steady state analysis. Calculate the temperature distribution in the model.

Loads

Open the load case container, where load cases can be defined (CTRL+K on load case to configure).

Add load case

Add a load case to the load case container. To configure the load case, click CTRL+K on the load case.

Thermal load

Define the thermal load that is applied to the system. Three types of thermal loads can be defined.

Type Thermal load
Convection Convection load applied to entity in [K]
Heat flux Heat flux load apploed to entity in [W/m2]
Heat flow Heat flow load applied to entity in [W]

Add convection load

Add a convection load to the load case.

Add heat flux load

Add a heat flux load to the load case.

Add heat flow load

Add a heat flow load to the load case.

Axis position table

Number of poses

Change the number of poses in the table. In the table the positions of the axes can be changed. MORe then performs a static analysis at every case defined. If the number of poses is 2, then 2 static analyses will be performed.

Table

For every pose the position of the axis can be defined.

Load case table

Number of poses

Change the number of poses in the table. In the table weight of the loads can be changed. MORe then performs a static analysis at every case defined. If the number of poses is 2, then 2 static analyses will be performed.

Table

For every pose the load can be defined.
