Simulation Tutorials

Abaqus Tutorial 18: Heat transfer Analysis

In this tutorial, you will create a pure heat transfer model of a hot teapot. Two simulations will be implemented to compare the temperature fields obtained using a steel or a porcelain teapot.

When you complete this tutorial, you will be able to

• Define the thermal properties of two common materials such as steel and porcelain.
• Define thermal loads and boundary conditions as well as interactions to model phenomena such as thermal conduction, convection and radiation.
• Use the visualization module to plot field output variables and create cut views of the model.
