Course Description:

This seminar deals with the possibilities of the Solver OptiStruct in the field of thermal analysis. Time-dependent and time-independent thermal calculations as well as their coupling to mechanical load cases are dealt with. Optimization for thermal load cases is also discussed. Basic knowledge in the linear area is required.

Prerequisites:

Knowledge of how to build a model in HyperMesh

Goals and Objectives:

• Treatment of theory and practical examples from different areas of application
• Steady-State Heat Transfer Analysis
• Transient thermal analysis
• Thermal analysis with contact
• Thermal optimization
