Heat Transfer and Thermal-Stress Analysis with Abaqus
Course Objective
The success of many structural designs requires a thorough understanding of both the thermal and mechanical response of the design. Temperature-dependent material properties, thermally-induced deformation, and temperature variations all may be important design considerations. This course introduces you to the heat transfer and thermal-stress capabilities available within Abaqus. Practical examples and workshops are used to illustrate these capabilities.
Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
- Perform steady-state and transient heat transfer simulations
- Solve cavity radiation problems
- Model latent heat effects
- Perform sequentially-coupled, fully-coupled and adiabatic thermal-stress analyses
- Model contact in heat transfer problems
The course will be a combination of lectures, demonstrations, and workshops.
Who should attend:
This course is recommended for simulation analysts whose work involves assessing the thermal response of structures and/or the thermal influence on mechanical response.
