Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n

I am performing a 2D axisymmetric steady-state thermal analysis on a cylindrical shell, and I had a question regarding how to set up heat flows into the shell. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I want 10W of heat to be flowing into the interior wall of the shell (that is 10W total distributed over the entire wall). <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am doing this as a 2D axisymmetric problem, so I am setting up heat flows on a rectangle that will be rotated around. Would I simply set up a heat flow of 10W into the inner edge of the rectangle, or is it more complicated than that? <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is question I have in general, how to translate the forces, heat flows, etc… that will be applied to a 3D object, into those that will be applied to the cross section used for a 2D axisymmetric analysis. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I am rather new to ANSYS so thank you for your patience. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-43219","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["15400"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1504"],"_bbp_subscription":["79935"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["43219"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","176278"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["112861"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["112861"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-04-29 00:29:20"]},"test":"jonahbt40"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/43219","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\/43219\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
