Investigation of the influence of conductivity of two-component geometry in Ansys Transient Thermal PART 1

on

In today's post, I would like to show you a tutorial in Transient Thermal on the analysis of the influence of conductivity due to the different location of the same boundary conditions for the same geometry.

Influence of conductivity in Ansys Transient Thermal

The first step is to generate a Transient Thermal program block. Then we load the geometry (red frame) or create it in the CAD module (SpaceClaim or Design Modeler).

In the next step, we need to define the materials that we will use in our transient simulation. In our case, we will be dealing with two materials: Structural Steel and Concrete. In Engineering Data Sources (red box) we can use a rich material base. The basic materials are listed in the General Materials section (blue box). If we want to use the richer section, we can enter Thermal Materials and Fluid Materials (orange box). However, after entering one of the sections, we can select the material (after the arrow) by clicking the plus sign. After doing this, the selected material will appear in the Outline of Schematic window.

After clicking on a given material (red frame), we can modify its thermal properties (blue frame). We can make each property (conductivity, heat capacity, density) dependent on temperature. Nonlinear dependencies will be displayed on the graph (orange frame).

After the exact definition of materials and their properties, click on the MODEL section to carry out the rest of the modeling stages.

In the first analysis, we will define the heat flow in the direction of the X axis (red arrow). For this purpose, we will define a convection of 500 W / m2K (B) as the intensive cooling zone and on the opposite side of the model (C) we will add a convection of 5 W / m2K as the free cooling zone. We define the upper and lower walls (A) as adiabatic zones.

The next stage is the moment when we assign previously defined materials to specific parts of the geometry. And so for the internal part we assign Structural Steel, and for the external part we assign Concrete.

In the tree in the Materials option, we can view the properties of our materials. We can also modify them from this level or create mixtures of materials (you can find the tutorial in previous entries).

Quick Tip: How to fix Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR in Ansys (Fluent)

 The error message Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR: invalid argument [1]: improper list means that there is a problem with the scheme code or the UDF (user-defined function) in your case or data file . Some possible solutions are: Save the case and data file and try to reopen it. Reset the Fluent Setup tab and try opening the mesh. Remesh the geometry and reopen in Fluent. Change the material definition from “Solid” to “Fluid” in Design Modeler. Change the transient to steady if you are using evaporation-condensation as the phase interaction mechanism. Check the syntax of your UDF and make sure it follows the new rules in Fluent 6.2.16 or later. I hope this helps you resolve the error. If you need more assistance, please visit the Ansys Learning Forum or contact Ansys Support . Have a nice day! 😊 Sources: 1. smartadm.ru 2. cfd-online.com 3. forum.ansys.com 4. forum.ansys.com In Polish  BÅ‚Ä…d: GENERAL-CAR-CDR oznacza, że wystÄ…piÅ‚ problem z kodem Scheme w programie Ansys Fluent.

Types of supports and examples - Ansys Static Structural

Supports are used to represent parts that are not present in the model but are interacting with it. Supports help truncate the domain, which helps in efficiently obtaining numerically accurate results without modeling parts of the geometry that are not of primary interest. There are different types of support available, among which you need to choose the appropriate one for your analysis. Here are some of the common types of supports and their explanations: - **Fixed Support**: This type of support constrains all the degrees of freedom of the selected entity (body, face, or edge). It means that the entity cannot move or rotate in any direction. Fixed support is equivalent to applying zero displacement to all directions. Fixed support is useful for modeling rigid connections or supports that do not allow any movement. For example, you can use fixed support to model a bolted joint or a clamped beam. - **Displacement Support**: This type of support specifies a zero or non-zero displacemen

💥💥💥 How to handle with complex geometries (models) in Ansys Fluent?

ANSYS Fluent is a powerful software for simulating fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems. It can handle complex geometries (models) by using different meshing methods and workflows. Meshing is the process of dividing the geometry into small elements that can be used for numerical calculations. Depending on the type and quality of the geometry, you may need to use different meshing tools and techniques. One of the meshing methods available in ANSYS Fluent is the Watertight Geometry Workflow. This workflow is suitable for clean and watertight geometries, which means that there are no gaps, overlaps, or errors in the geometry. The Watertight Geometry Workflow can automatically generate a high-quality mesh for complex geometries, such as aircraft, cars, or turbines. You can also customize the mesh settings and refine the mesh in specific regions. To learn more about the Watertight Geometry Workflow, you can watch this video or take this course .
