Simcenter 3D for thermal multiphysics simulation solution guide

An 11-page solution guide to Simcenter 3D for thermal multiphysics simulation, which models nonlinear and transient heat transfer by conduction, convection, radiation and phase change. It explains how the thermal solver, the integrated CFD solver and Simcenter Nastran work together for conjugate heat transfer and thermomechanical studies.

What the document covers

• Thermal connections between disjoint components and dissimilar meshes, and fast fluid domain extraction by Boolean operations, wrapping or immersed bodies
• The Thermal module: deterministic and Monte Carlo radiation, ablation and charring, 1D hydraulic networks and GPU-supported view factor calculation
• The Flow module for laminar and turbulent internal and external flows, with RNG and Realizable k-epsilon, SST, k-omega and LES models
• Space Systems Thermal for orbital heating, articulating solar panels and multilayer insulation
• Electronic Systems Cooling with NX PCB Exchange, Joule heating and fan curve catalogues, and HPC options for large models
• Applications in automotive, aerospace, electronics, industrial machinery and cold chain, plus a detailed capabilities chart

Who it is for

Thermal and CFD analysts, electronics cooling engineers and spacecraft thermal engineers who need coupled thermal, flow and structural simulation in one environment.
