Understanding the thermal stress on brake discs is crucial for ensuring safety and performance. This analysis demonstrates a co-simulation between Cradle scFLOW and MSC Nastran, where the thermal effects on a brake disc are analyzed.
The frictional heat is generated in scFLOW, capturing the temperature variations across the disc. These thermal loads are then transferred to MSC Nastran to evaluate the resulting stress distribution.
This interaction, using MSC CoSim, allows for a comprehensive analysis of how thermal stresses affect the structural integrity of the brake disc, providing valuable insights for design optimization.
