A new Thermal Loads group on the Simulation tab contains five thermal loads available for Steady State Heat Transfer thermal studies and thermal stress analysis.
Use the new thermal loads as follows:
Temperature load—To evaluate temperature distribution when a constant temperature is applied continuously to selected nodes and elements on a model at equilibrium.
Convection load—To evaluate free convection.
Radiation load—To evaluate radiation to space or enclosure radiation.
Heat Flux load—To evaluate heat power, heat generation, or heat transfer in a part, sheet metal, or structural frames model.
Heat Generation load—To evaluate heat power, heat generation, or heat transfer in an assembly.
Note:
Now there are two different temperature loads on the Simulation tab command ribbon.
In the Thermal Loads group, the Temperature command works on selected entities in thermal studies.
In the Body Loads group, use the Body Temperature command to apply a single temperature to the entire model in structural studies and in thermal stress analysis (coupled studies). Also use it to provide a required initial temperature for thermal studies with a radiation load.
