Re: Thermal analysis results coming out in contraries in ANSYS Discovery Simulation – EXPLORE

[Atharv Joshi]

Hi Semin Park ,

If we reduce the height of the fins, the temperature goes up which is expected result. The temperature only goes down if the fidelity is low and it doesn't capture the fins properly. 

Generally, 3 elements in thin regions tend to capture the details and provide reliable results. Element size will depend upon the available GPU memory. 

You can refer to this article on capturing thin features Discovery Live: “Thin” geometric features and relative GPU adjustments – Ansys Knowledge

Please try to simulate with higher fidelity and the temperature trends are as expected. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks and Regards
