I am analysing the effect of thermal displacement generated by heater coil on the respective nozzle. I have modelled the coil as 1D beam element with predefines pipe cross section.<\/p>\n

The coil heats up from ambient 22 C to 295 C during operation. I want to get the temperature discribution across welded reinforcement plate due to the effect of coil heating  so that I can evluate the effect of further applied mechanical loads on the coil nozzle to the reinforcement plate. What is the best methodology in steady state thermal analysis to simulate this?<\/p>\n

The results shown always the coil is at 295 C and the plate is 22 C. No heat transfer through the plate is calculated.\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-462533","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-contact"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
