ANSYS Mechanical application-Thermal Analysis

•In this chapter, performing steady-state thermal analyses in Simulation will be covered:

A.Geometry

B.Assemblies – Solid Body Contact

C.Heat Loads

D.Solution Options

E.Results and Postprocessing

F.Workshop 6.1

•The capabilities described in this section are generally applicable to ANSYS DesignSpace Entra licenses and above, except for an ANSYS Structural license.

•

•

•Note: advanced topics including thermal transient analyses are covered in the ANSYS Thermal Analysis training course.

•In thermal analyses all body types are supported:

–Solid, surface, and line bodies.

•Line bodies cross-section and orientation is defined within DesignModeler.

•The “Point Mass” feature is not available in thermal analyses.

•

•Shell and line body assumptions:

–Shells: no through-thickness temperature gradients.

–Line bodies: no through thickness variation.  Assumes a constant temperature across the cross-section.

•Temperature variation will still be considered along the line body

•The only required material property is thermal conductivity
