Thermal radiation

Toon

Hi

 

I am trying to perform a (transient) thermal analysis where a composite plate is subjected to radiation.

The plate consists of 2 plies, the one on top is made of glass, the one on the bottom is made of aluminium. The radiation needs to go trough the glass and then reaches the aluminium plate. The aluminium absorbs almost all of the radiation, the glass mainly lets the radiation trough and reflects it.

 

How would I model this? Is it possible to do a thermal simulation like this with hyperworks software, like optistruct or radioss?

 

I already looked at the tutorials but they don't match my case. I also tried acusolve but here it is not possible either because radiation through glass cannot be simulated properly.
