Intensive review of Patran focusing on building heat transfer models for Thermal. Initial overview of Thermal capabilities followed by exposure to all features of Thermal accessed through Patran. Each lecture and lessons will instruct you how to setup, execute, and post process the results of a heat transfer analysis. Lessons increase in the level of detail and complexity through the week.
Pre-requisites:
Background using thermal analysis with either finite difference or finite element formulations. PAT301(Introduction to Patran) or equivalent experience in the use of Patran.
Topics:
- Analyzing models which include the four basic modes of heat transfer
- Exercising the two primary types of heat transfer analysis
- Defining thermal materials
- Describing and applying available element types and options
- Defining heat transfer loads and boundary condition that are either constant or variable for
- Programming user supplied subroutines to
- Using the built in hydraulic network solver and its associated element and boundary definitions.
