The "Heat Index" of Your Designs
In the dog days of summer we talk about some common design problems that are related to temperature. Almost everyone is familiar with using simulation tools to study structural problems like deflections, deformations, and stress. However, other common problems are thermally related, including overheating, the lack of dimensional stability, excessive thermal stresses, and other challenges related to heat flow and the thermal characteristics of their products.
Below we've provided a video and white paper for you to help you better understand the following:
- How is thermal simulation similar to structural?
- Are my products or designs susceptible to failures related to thermal?
- Simulating Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.
- How does SolidWorks Simulation analyze thermal?
