| Through three 4-hour sessions, students will simulate thermal analyzes (stationary and transient) allowing to calculate a temperature distribution as well as the various relative thermal data (quantity of heat gained or lost, thermal gradients, thermal fluxes ... ) in a system or component. Thermal simulations play an important role in the design of many engineering applications, such as internal combustion engines, turbines, heat exchangers, piping systems, and electronic components. In addition, in the majority of cases, these thermal analyzes will be followed by a mechanical analysis in order to calculate the thermal stresses of the system, i.e. the stresses created by thermal expansion or contraction. ANSYS software, in its ANSYS Mechanical or Multiphysics version, allows a full range of thermal analyzes. It takes into account, among other things, the three primary modes of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. |
