  • Is there a tool in Patran that allows us to automatically check for overlapping temperature loads, i.e. coincidental (overlaying) temperature loads on nodes?

  • Evaluate conductance of CAD shape -> report total heat of constraint

    Hello, I would like to determine the thermal resistance of a CAD shape. (its a bipod made of titanium) my approach: I define a "hot" and a "cold" temperature boundary at the ends of the shape. Then I evaluate how much heat is…
  • I have two TET4 meshed solids from an assembly step file. How do I define the mating surfaces in "Loads/BC"? Is it "Create" - "Contact" - "Element Uniform" - "Deformable Body"? Or is it "Body Pair&q

  • How do I assign a thermal capacitance to a single node using a cap.dat.apnd file? Cannnot find a description of the input and how to ensure patq used the file.

  • Equivalent thermal properties in MIDi field on Pshell entry

    Dear all, I am doing multiscale modeling of composites plate structures. I have A, B and D matrices of a plate element, which can be convert to MID1, MID2, MID4 fields in PSHELL entry. Now I also have the thermal induced plate stress resultants…
