1
Thermal
• A thermal analysis calculates the
temperature distribution and related
thermal quantities in a system or
component. Typical thermal quantities of
interest are:
– The temperature distributions
– The amount of heat lost or gained
– Thermal gradients
– Thermal fluxes

Convection
• You specify convection as a surface load on
conducting solid elements or shell elements.
• You specify the convection film coefficient and
the bulk fluid temperature at a surface; ANSYS
then calculates the appropriate heat transfer
across that surface.
• If the film coefficient depends upon temperature,
you specify a table of temperatures along with
the corresponding values of film coefficient at
each temperature.
Lesson 14 5
Radiation
• ANSYS can solve radiation problems,
which are nonlinear, in four ways:
– By using the radiation link element, LINK31
– By using surface effect elements with the
radiation option (SURF151 in 2-D modeling or
SURF152 in 3-D modeling)
– By generating a radiation matrix in AUX12
and using it as a superelement in a thermal
analysis.
– By using the Radiosity Solver method.

Special Effects
• In addition to the three modes of heat
transfer, you can account for special
effects such as change of phase (melting
or freezing) and internal heat generation
(due to Joule heating, for example). For
instance, you can use the thermal mass
element MASS71 to specify temperature-
dependent heat generation rates.

Steady-State Thermal Analysis
• A steady-state thermal analysis calculates
the effects of steady thermal loads on a
system or component. Engineer/analysts
often perform a steady-state analysis
before doing a transient thermal analysis,
to help establish initial conditions. A
steady-state analysis also can be the last
step of a transient thermal analysis,
performed after all transient effects have
diminished.

Transient Thermal Analysis
• Transient thermal analysis determines
temperatures and other thermal quantities
that vary over time. Engineers commonly
use temperatures that a transient thermal
analysis calculates as input to structural
analyses for thermal stress evaluations.
Many heat transfer applications - heat
treatment problems, nozzles, engine
blocks, piping systems, pressure vessels,
etc. - involve transient thermal analyses.

Radiation
• Radiation is the transfer of energy via
electromagnetic waves. The waves travel
at the speed of light, and energy transfer
requires no medium. Thermal radiation is
just a small band on the electromagnetic
spectrum. Because the heat flow that
radiation causes varies with the fourth
power of the body's absolute temperature,
radiation analyses are highly nonlinear.
