Engineers responsible for analyzing the thermal response of structures and components, are encouraged to take this course. The course focuses on performing steady-state, transient, linear and nonlinear thermal analyses.
After completing the seminar, analysts should be able to analyze:
  • thermal responses of structures involving conduction, convection, and radiation
  • the response of structures exhibiting special heat transfer phenomena including thermal-stress coupling and phase change.
Prerequisite: ANSYS Mechanical APDL Introduction

Course topics include:
  • Fundamental Concepts
  • Steady State Heat Transfer (no mass transport)
  • Additional Considersations for Nonlinear Analysis
  • Transient Analysis
  • Complex, Time & Spatially Varying Boundary Conditions
  • Additional Convection / Heat Flux Loading Options and Simple Thermal / Flow Elements
  • Radiation Heat Transfer
  • Phase Change Analysis
  • The Finite Element Approach to Thermal Analysis
Each course chapter is followed by "hands-on" workshops and exercises
