1)\u00a0Structural-Thermal Simulation of a Heat Sink<\/strong><\/p>\n

Application example of a structural-thermal simulation of a finned heat sink that is fixed on both ends and has a prescribed heat transfer coefficient. The results show the temperature distribution in the heat sink as well as the displacement due to thermal expansion. This\u00a0project requires release 19.0 or newer.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Electromagnetic-Thermal Simulation of a Planar Transformer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Application example of a planar transformer simulation with electromagnetic-thermal coupling. This simulation analyses the frequency response at 110 kHz and takes into account core losses and eddy effects. This project requires release 19.0 or newer.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Fluid-Solid Heat Transfer and Structural Simulation of an Air Cooled Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Application example of an air cooled engine simulation with fluid-solid heat transfer and structural coupling. A heat source is specified in the engine and convective cooling effects from the surrounding air are calculated as well as the temperature distribution through the engine. The engine temperatures are then sent to a structural simulation, where the thermally induced stresses are calculated. This project requires release 19.0 or newer.<\/p>\n
