Course Description

ANSYS Mechanical Heat Transfer 

Dates offered and location:

ANSYS Mechanical Heat Transfer is for engineers wishing to use ANSYS Mechanical to analyze the thermal response of structures and mechanical components to heat transfer effects. The course focuses on performing steady-state, transient, linear and nonlinear thermal analyses.

After completing the course, analysts should be able to analyze, in ANSYS Mechanical, the thermal responses of structures involving conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer.

Prerequisite: Completion of ANSYS Mechanical course.

The training course provides students with the ability to operate ANSYS Mechanical and the basic understanding of simulation concepts and results interpretation.

Course Topics Include:

• Fundamental Concepts of Heat Transfer
• Fundamental Concepts of ANSYS Mechanical
• Steady State Heat Transfer (no mass transport)
• Nonlinear and Transient Analysis
• Additional Convection/Heat Flux Loading Options and Simple Thermal/Flow Elements
• Radiation Heat Transfer
• Phase Change Analysis
• One Dimensional Flow Elements in Thermal Analysis

Each course chapter is followed by "hands-on" workshops and exercises.
