Possibility of modelling a transient thermal analysis in Abaqus.

Possibility of modelling a transient thermal analysis in Abaqus.

Possibility of modelling a transient thermal analysis in Abaqus.

(OP)
I want to check the possibility of modelling a transient thermal analysis in Abaqus. The description of simplified model is as below:
Consider a rectangular cube like the below figure:


Boundary Conditions:
1. Conduction heat transfer from bottom side.
2. Zero heat flux (adiabatic) from two sides.
3. Convection heat transfer from other two sides and the top side with different heat transfer coefficients.
4. Different initial temperatures; one value for top side and one for all other sides.
My aim is to run a transient thermal analysis to get the following result sets:
i. Obtain transient circumferential temperature distribution on top side.
ii. Monitor the changes on the top side temperature distribution by changing the amount of conduction heat on the bottom side.

Could it be modelled with Abaqus?

Many thanks

Extremely easily. However, you'll have to forgive me but this smells of homework...

As I have mentioned in the first sentence, this is a simplified model!

I haven't used Abaqus before and I am not familiar with its thermal analysis capabilities. I created this thread just to know that it is possible to do it in Abaqus. Therefore, forget about the model itself, my question is that can I get the required result sets based on the aforementioned BC's.

Thanks

We get a lot of students asking for help with their homework, and with the simplifications, this looked like homework. If not, then ok.

It is most certainly possible, and in my opinion, extremely easy to perform such an analysis in Abaqus. Give it a try - you will probably be able to have results for such a simplified analysis in no time.
