I am working with a satellite payload consisting of circuit boards, sensors, and all other types of electrical components. The assembly itself contains 6000+ parts and was provided to me as a Solidworks assembly file. My goal is to perform a thermal analysis using Thermal Desktop. I initially tried loading the Solidworks assembly as a step file into Thermal Desktop and was not able to assign any values to the components. I have data for how much heat certain components generate. <\/p>\n
Next, I discovered SpaceClaim and have been trying to simplify the geometry, so I can import into Thermal Desktop. There are a lot of issues under the ‘Simplify -> Repair’ function that where I have deleted geometry that is not essential for thermal analysis purposes, but many more keep arising and some I am unable to even delete. Would someone be able to provide guidance on how to go about taking the model and analyzing it in Thermal Desktop using orbit data from STK? I have struggled to find a comprehensive tutorial\/guide on how to complete this process. Any help would be greatly appreciated and feel free to ask any questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-367214","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-thermal-1","topic-tag-preprocessing","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["348422","276533","305924","460117"],"_bbp_author_ip":["184.24.96.177"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2227"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["367214"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["276533","348422"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["368129"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["368129"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-05-22 18:07:46"]},"test":"divyanshnagpalvt-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/367214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/367214\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=367214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
