AutoFEM Thermal Analysis provides a calculation of the temperature behaviour of products under the action of sources of heat and radiation. Thermal analysis can be used independently to calculate the temperature and thermal field of the design, as well as in conjunction with static analysis to assess the resulting of thermal deformation.
In AutoFEM Thermal Analysis the heat conduction problem has two statement:
- steady-state thermal conductivity - the calculation of the steady (stationary) temperature fields of structures under the applied thermal boundary conditions;
- time-dependent thermal conductivity - the calculation of temperature fields of construction is dependent on the time, that is, temperature loads have been made relatively recently, and there is a process of active redistribution of temperature fields;
As the boundary conditions are used: temperature, heat flux, convective heat transfer, thermal power, radiation.
