Temperature definition using fields in Three directions

prasad.guduguntla.external over 4 years ago

Hello,

I need to define the temperature for 3D Cylindrical structure. The nodes are defined in Cylindrical Coordinate System and the temperature varies in ( R, Theta, Z ) in all three directions at interval of 25°.

The thickness of structures varies in Radial direction, because of that the R is not constant and it varies along the height.

I tried to create the fields by changing R at each height using PATRAN, I am not able to define it .

Yes, if they are at a regular arrangement then we can create a mesh purely for creating a fem field to map the temperature distribution from, and interpolate it onto the structural mesh.

How many radial points do you have and how many layers?

I will try to build a quick demo but if you can share your RTZ data point values I will try to use those.
