thermal analysis problem

Hi Syamil.

If I have understood it correct, you want to model an intial condition inside the helmet and ambient temperature as the outside temperature.

Go to Analysis>> Temperature and create temperature for inside. Now, create a DLOAD card and refer the TLOAD1 in this DLOAD.

For the rest you can give through TEMPD. TEMPD is available as a load collector.

When creating loadstep for heat transfer, Refer TEMPD card for IC and , you can refer to DLOAD created in above step in the subcase directly.

Hi Prakash,

Thank you for your help. I will try to do the analysis first based on what you told. 

Syamil,

The analysis type will be transient. So you need temperature data varying with time. Please keep a note of this.

Hi Prakash, 

Can i know what is DLOAD card, TLOAD1  and where is it? 

Hi Prakash, 

I have stuck at create DLOAD. which panel should i choose to create and i cannot make TEMPD... 

It said no nodes found in the model... what should i do? 

Hi,

Please refer to the tutorial OS-1090: Linear Transient Heat Transfer Analysis of an Extended Surface Heat Transfer Fin to start with.

Hi, 

anyone have the OS-1090 video for the Linear Transient Heat Transfer Analysis of an Extended Surface Heat Transfer Fin. i dont have it... 

cannot download from altair bcause account still in approval.

really need to see the video @ can i have some assistance regarding on what to do? 

Hi Syamil92,

There is no video available as of now.

Please refer to the tutorial for more information.
