Re: Heat Transfer with Air Gap

case.sif Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I have been somewhat successful in the analysis. Now I would like to write out the temperatures to a file. I made an attempt with the Savescalers procedure but no results were saved. I would also like to output the results for a particular body. Can...

I am trying to model a section of a covered conveyor which carries material at high temperature. I want to perform a thermal transient analysis to determine when the material cools to a specified temperature. My concern is the air space above the hot material. It will increase in temperature so a co...

Thank you.

George

There were a lot of problems with getting the geometry file into the correct format. Things that used to work did not. Once...

Does anyone have a suggestion for doing that? Most of my problems are heat transfer. In commercial programs (ANSYS) I c...
