1. When we conduct the thermal cycling, what kind of data can we collect if we are testing a single part? How to export it?
2. Can we collect such data over time during the thermal cycling?
3. During the thermal cycling test, what settings can we change apart from the temperature? Is it possible to change temperature and other settings such as mechanical load at the same time?

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,

Are you looking for thermal cycling from fatigue point of view? Please comment.

Do you have any tutorials/suggestions about how to simulate a complete profile for thermal cycling?

Hi,

Please see if the following links help:

Do we have step-by-step tutorial to simulate the thermal cycling for a part found from the parts library? 

• How to set the transient thermal loadings?
• How to export the performance of the part at all time steps?
• What signals can we export?

Thank you so much!

In the workbench, if we start from ANSYS Sherlock (pre) and follow up with transient thermal analysis, what is the difference between thermal analysis under ANSYS Mechanical and ANSYS Sherlock?

Do we still need to define temperature or other setting in transient thermal analysis under Mechanical? How can we simulate the degradation of a certain part?

Hi Zihan,

I do not have knowledge of Ansys Sherlock but please wait for other members to comment.
