Overview

Thermal analysis, which involves the study of heat transfer and temperature distribution in structures, plays a crucial role in many engineering systems. From small devices like smartphones to extensive systems like gas turbines, understanding and controlling heat energy can improve the performance and reliability of engineered products.

This webinar will provide an overview of thermal analysis and address questions such as: Why do engineers care about heat transfer? Where and how should thermal analyses be applied? What role should engineers play in the heat transfer simulation process? Getting answers to these and other questions will lay a foundation for your continuing study of thermal analysis.

What Attendees Will Learn

  • Understand the basics of conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer
  • Define the required thermal material properties
  • Apply various thermal loads and boundary conditions
  • Observe the most common types of thermal results
  • Describe the end-to-end procedure for steady-state thermal analysis

Who Should Attend
