Apply heat loads, prescribed temperatures, and convective conditions
directly to the model geometry produced in the design environment. These
heat loads may be uniform or spatially varying and can be graphically
previewed for definition verification. |
|
Run Steady State
Simulations. The results can
then be imported as Thermal load cases into Pro/MECHANICA Structure to
determine stress and deflections. |
|
Specify convergence settings based on local temperature, energy norm,
global error norm or user-defined measures before running a simulation and
review graphs of the convergence criteria results at each pass to visually
inspect the convergence behaviour. |
|
Select one or more sensitivity parameters to vary over a range and then
graphically review results as a function of that changing parameter. |
|
Calculate local sensitivity results at a small offset from the nominal
parameter value and visualize whether varying a certain parameter has a
significant effect. |
|
Optimise designs by specifying multiple design parameters and a design
goal in terms of cost, mass, temperature heat flux, temperature gradients,
or any other aspect of the design. For example, the mass of an assembly
could be minimized while keeping stress, first modal frequency, and maximum
model temperature within limits. |
|
Store and view results as fringes, contours, and query plots of
temperature, temperature gradient, and heat flux over selected model
entities - or view graphically as functions of geometry, optimisation
iteration, or as single value measures such as maximum temperature. |
