Elmer Discussion Forum

Hello Anil Kunwar,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will find some appropriate terms in the links you gave me and list them in my master thesis.

HI Matthias, My module in FreeCAD is called "Thermal Freetop". Actually, I'm still working on getting the Salome integrated with FreeCAD "tightly". Since I was in a hurry to get things done, I adopted some quick and dirty methods to have Salome work, with some Python scripts in T...

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this will be part of my master thesis. Is there anything I need to pay attention to or anything the Elmer team wants me to do if I am going to publish my thesis? I already listed the Elmer webpage in the reference list.

Hello everybody, The video is my work on a project in the school. It is about FEM thermal analysis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3VzRx-tOoM&t=11s Since I integrated ElmerSolver and ElmerGrid to my project, I want to thank the Elmer development team. I really had fun working on this. I didn't...

Hi Peter,
Thank you very much. Your suggestion really works
The attached is what I tried based on your suggestion. Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone, I was running a simulation of heat radiation of 1m * 1m * 0.5m cube. I wanted to know what would happen if the cube had one side emitting to deep space (external temperature: 15 K) but the result was crazy. The following list indicated different results I got from different external tem...

Hi Peter,
Thanks for figuring out what I missed. It fixed the problem.


Matthias,
Thanks for the suggestion of having "Coordinate Scale" be 0.001, it really works. The reason why I didn't get the right results is that I misunderstood the units of Elmer.

Hi mzenker, thanks for replying. The problem isn't fixed; the temperature is wrong (the temperature on the surface heat source is applied is 273. ). the sif file is shown below: Header CHECK KEYWORDS Warn Mesh DB "." "." Include Path "" Results Directory "" E...

Hi there, I'm trying to run two simple heat conduction problems, but the results are not consistent with the theoretical ones. Case 01: Geometry: 1 mm * 1 mm * 5 mm bar, built with AutoCAD. format: iges material: aluminum (generic), heat capacity = 237 (x) this is a typo thermal conductivity = 237 (...
