SOLIDWORKS Simulation – Thermal Analysis

via Pluralsight

Overview

Learn All About Thermal Analysis and How to Understand the Results of Thermal Analysis from a Solidworks Simulation. Start Learning from Pluralsight Today!

CAD-embedded SOLIDWORKS Simulation enables every designer and engineer to carry out thermal analysis at any stage of design to ensure that every component and assembly performs properly within expected temperature ranges, and spot safety issues before they arise. Thermal analysis calculates the temperature and heat transfer within and between components in your design and its environment. In this course, SOLIDWORKS Simulation – Thermal Analysis, you'll learn how to apply conduction, convection, and radiation loads in a static or time-dependent manner on your parts or assemblies. First, you'll dive into a background of thermal analysis, including a basic understanding of the modes of heat transfer. Next, you'll explore how to perform a thermal analysis on a graphics card, and take a look at steady state and transient analysis to understand the effects of time. Finally, you'll learn how to perform a stress analysis with a temperature load to ensure the design stays within the guidelines required. By the end of the course, you'll have the necessary knowledge to efficiently setup and run a thermal analysis. Software required: SOLIDWORKS.
