Prerequisites: This course is recommended for simulation analysts or engineers with experience using Abaqus.

Description: The success of many structural designs requires a thorough understanding of both the thermal and mechanical response of the design. Temperature-dependent material properties, thermally-induced deformation, and temperature variations all may be important design considerations. Practical examples and workshops are used to illustrate these capabilities in Abaqus.

1. Introduction to Heat Transfer
2. Heat Transfer Basics
3. Geometry, Material Properties, and Elements
4. Solver Procedures and Convergence
5. Boundary Conditions and Loads
6. Thermal Interfaces
7. Thermal Output and Postprocessing
8. Thermal-Stress Analysis
9. Sequentially-Coupled Thermal-Stress Analysis
