Thermal analysis

Thermal analysis


1D temperature effects in a strip of 2D elements:

  • steady state with radiation
  • transient with constant internal heat generation
  • steady state and transient with sinusoidal temperature variation at one end
  • transient with internal heat generation which is a linear function of the temperature


2D temperature effects in plane 2D element meshes:

  • steady state with prescribed boundary temperatures
  • steady state with prescribed boundary temperatures equal to zero and internal heat generation
  • steady state with boundaries defined with prescribed temperatures, zero fluxes and convection
  • steady state thick cylinder with radial flux and conductivity a linear function of temperature
  • steady state with radiation from one thermally-prescribed boundary to the other three


Temperature effects in axisymmetric 2D element meshes:

  • steady state with prescribed discontinuous boundary flux and a non-coincident geometry discontinuity
  • steady state with prescribed flux on inner surface of a thick cylinder
  • steady state with prescribed temperature on inner surface of a thick cylinder and convection elsewhere
  • transient with uniform initial temperature and step change in boundary temperatures
  • transient with conductivity a linear function of temperature and step change in boundary temperature
