Download or read book Thermal Analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2015 and Flow Simulation 2015 written by Paul Kurowski and published by SDC Publications. This book was released on 2015 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal Analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2015 goes beyond the standard software manual. It concurrently introduces the reader to thermal analysis and its implementation in SOLIDWORKS Simulation using hands-on exercises. A number of projects are presented to illustrate thermal analysis and related topics. Each chapter is designed to build on the skills and understanding gained from previous exercises. Thermal Analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2015 is designed for users who are already familiar with the basics of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using SOLIDWORKS Simulation or who have completed the book Engineering Analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2015. Thermal Analysis with SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2015 builds on these topics in the area of thermal analysis. Some understanding of FEA and SOLIDWORKS Simulation is assumed. Topics covered Analogies between thermal and structural analysisHeat transfer by conductionHeat transfer by convectionHeat transfer by radiationThermal loads and boundary conditionsThermal resistanceThermal stressesThermal bucklingModeling techniques in thermal analysisPresenting results of thermal analysis
