delayed heat fluxes in linear transient heat transfer

Altair Forum User

Hi,

i am working on my bachelor thesis at the moment, in which i need to simulate the heat transfer absorbed by a laser.

Therefore i want to apply different heat fluxes which overlap and run only for 1 second. After 1 second i want the second heat flux to start and also run for only 1 second.

 

How can i do this?

 

Thanks,

Hi @Erdinc92

 

Have you tried Linearr Heat transient analysis?

 

You can create two QBDY1 (heat flux) and use the same in TLOAD1 or TLOAD2. Create two tabled1s for two different loads. So table 1 starts from 0 to 1 and refers first heat flux (TLOAD1) and second table strats from 1 and ends at 2. 

 

Use DLOAD to combine these two TLOADs.
