I solved the structural dynamics and heat transfer of the structure with the Transient Structures Module, how should I post-process the thermal data of the model? I tried Ensigh and it didn't work out what I wanted.

Hi

Can you explain a bit more and show some images of the workbench project and mechanical showing your model.

In that way forum members can provide some more feedback – so need more information.

 

All the best

I used the ET command to enable the heat transfer calculation in the Transient Structure, but I didn't find any items about the heat transfer in the results. I want to know the temperature and heat flux distribution of the model, but I don't know how to do it.

Hello HB Z,

You should use the coupled field transient analysis to calculate the temperature and heat flux distribution with the applied fixed support. You can also get the temperature and heat flux distribution by using transient thermal analysis, but you will not have the option to apply the fixed support in this case. Please try to chose the analysis type according to your requirement. 

Best Regards,

Hi

Do not use any commands – this can be done natively. So solid226 you use with 11 keopt(1) are thermal structural.

For thermal + structural you need the coupled field transient system to do this natively.

All the best
