9.14. Structural analysis with Heat Transfer

There are several entities for dynamic analysis of the FFlex body in consideration of heat transfer. This can be supported to elements with Elastic Isotropic material.

• Nodal temperature in order to define boundary condition of conduction analysis for a FE body.

• Heat flux transmitted through the interface with the atmosphere.

• Heat energy generation by heat source such as chemical reactions inside a body.

After simulation, RTL file for thermal load can be generated based on nodal temperature calculated through dynamic simulation.

Note

Thermal Analysis recommends using a step size of 1.e-3 or less.
