Overview

Version – 2024.2  

Explore how to handle conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulations. This course guides you through the use of solid parts in addition to fluid domain. It introduces the different heat transfer modes, how to model a fan to be added in the simulation. As a post-treatment we detail the Heat Path View tool, which help the understanding of the path chosen by the heat in your simulation.

Through a combination of theory, hands-on examples, and best practices, you'll gain the skills to set up, run, and analyze CHT simulations with confidence and accuracy.
