Abaqus: Heat Transfer and Thermal-Stress Analysis
The success of many structural designs requires a thorough understanding of both the thermal and mechanical response of the design.
OVERVIEW
CLASSROOM LENGTH: 2 days
INSTRUCTOR-LED ONLINE LENGTH: 4 days
PREREQUISITES: This course is recommended for simulation analysts or engineers with experience using Abaqus.
DESCRIPTION: The success of many structural designs requires a thorough understanding of both the thermal and mechanical response of the design. Temperature-dependent material properties, thermally-induced deformation, and temperature variations all may be important design considerations. Practical examples and workshops are used to illustrate these capabilities in Abaqus.
