MSC/NASTRAN for Windows Thermal Analysis-N4W104

Table of Contents

Lesson Title

1. Transient Thermal Analysis: Create a geometric representation of a plate then apply thermal load of convection, heat generation, heat flux, and fixed temperature to the model. Run a transient heat transfer analysis of the plate.

 

2. Fluid Advection Thermal Analysis: Create a geometric representation of a rectangular duct then apply appropriate convection and advection loads to model the airflow through the duct of this heat exchanger. Add a constant heat flux to one side of the duct and run a steady-state heat transfer analysis of the duct.

 

3. Radiation Enclosures: Create a geometric representation of three plates and apply a thermal load of heat flux to a patch in the middle
surface. Apply thermal load of shaded radiation to the outer surfaces then run a steady-state heat transfer analysis of the plates.

 

4. Directional Heat Loads: Create a geometric model of a cylinder then apply ambient radiation to space and a directional heat flux to the model. Run a steady-state heat transfer analysis on the model.

 

5. Thermal Stress Analysis from Directional Heat Loads: Open an existing MSC/NASTRAN for Windows model. Create a temperature load based on the previous analysis’ output and apply constraints to the ends of the cylinder. Run a linear static analysis on the model to obtain stresses due to constraining thermal expansion.

 

6. Free Convection on a Printed Circuit Board: Create a geometric representation of a printed circuit board then apply thermal loading of free convection and heat fluxes to the model. Run a steady-state heat transfer analysis of the board.

 

7. Forced Convection on a Printed Circuit Board: Create a geometric representation of a plate then apply thermal loading of forced convection and heat fluxes to the model. Run a steady-state heat transfer analysis of the plate.
