Explicit Heat Transfer Analysis with RADIOSS Block

Altair Forum User

Hi,

Are there any Examples or Tutorials for performing a heat transfer analysis with radioss block format? I want to simulate convective heating of a solid structure, but for all time steps, i recieve a temperature of 0K. Is there any control card needed to 'activate' heat transfer simulation?

Regards

Hi dkr,

Why not simulate the analysis using Optistruct? Have you seen the optistruct tutorials, especially 1085 and 1090

OS-1080: Coupled Linear Heat Transfer/Structure Analysis
OS-1085: Linear Steady State Heat Convection Analysis
OS-1090: Linear Transient Heat Transfer Analysis of an Extended Surface Heat Transfer Fin
OS-1100: Thermal Stress Analysis of a Printed Circuit Board with Anisotropic Material Properties
