Thermal analysis with multiple bodies
Thermal analysis with multiple bodies
(OP)
I am running Mechanica 2001 and importing Unigraphics models to perform thermal analyses (could be IGES also). How can I make 2 or more bodies of different materials contact each other and transfer heat between each other? I know it can be done if Mechanica and ProE are linked, but I don't have that option.
Thanks,
Tony

RE: Thermal analysis with multiple bodies
Try the Autoassociate option under geometry in the edit menu. By changing the tolerance to which ProM associates, you can make the program assume that points that are close to eachother are one and the same point. This option is often automatically set to a value other than 0%, so it often causes problems with imported geometry without the user realising what's going on.
