Transient Thermal Analysis

Transient Thermal Analysis

Transient Thermal Analysis

(OP)
Hi

I am trying to model heating up an aluminium bar.
I used solid70 to model the data and applied convection on areas at some parts of the outer surface areas. Meshing is free with tets. The solution is nonlinear.

I want to find out the total heat (Joule or Btu) transferred to the system,

but i don't know how.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance

RE: Transient Thermal Analysis


The VM110 of 'Verification Manual" seems quite similar to your case.
