    Structural Simulation: Heat Transfer and Thermal Stress Analysis

    The success of many structural designs requires a thorough understanding of both the thermal and mechanical response of the design. Temperature-dependent material properties, thermally-induced deformation, and temperature variations all may be important design considerations. This course introduces you to the heat transfer and thermal-stress capabilities available within 3DEXPERIENCE®. Practical examples and workshops are used to illustrate these capabilities.
