A Guide to Thermal Analysis - FEA for All（热分析指南-有限元分析）.pdf

A Guide to Thermal Analysis This guide starts from applications of thermal analysis and its role in simulation driven design. Fundamental concepts and principles will be introduced such as conduction, convection, radiation, linear and nonlinear heat transfer, steady state and transient analysis, etc. Finally we will discuss how to choose appropriate finite element analysis software for thermal analysis; and introduce strength of midas NFX for solving thermal problems. Thermal Analysis for Analysis Driven Design Efficiency and innovation are contradictory challenges in the sector of product development, and both them must be satisfied in modern companies that strive to remain competitive. Simulation driven design process was introduced and has largely replaced the traditional prototyping-testing process in the last decade. Companies can benefit from the cost and time efficiency of design verification tools based on finite element methods, and concentrate main efforts on product innovation.
