Cooling process of the gear on Transient Thermal (Ansys Workbench)

 Transient Thermal module is a type of analysis that allows you to simulate the temperature changes and heat transfer in a system over time. It is useful for studying problems that involve time-dependent thermal loads, such as heat treatment, electronic cooling, engine heating, etc.

In Transient Thermal module, you need to specify the initial temperature distribution, the material properties (such as density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity), the boundary conditions (such as convection, radiation, and heat flux), and the time steps for the analysis. The module will solve the heat conduction equation for each time step and generate the results for the temperature, heat flux, heat transfer coefficient, etc.

You can also use Transient Thermal module to perform coupled thermal-structural analysis, where the thermal results are transferred to a structural analysis to calculate the thermal stresses and strains. This can help you evaluate the effects of thermal expansion, contraction, and deformation on your system.

If you want to learn more about Transient Thermal module in Ansys workbench, you can check out some of these resources:

- [Intro to Transient Thermal Analysis - ANSYS Innovation Courses](^5^): This is a PDF document that introduces the basics of transient thermal analysis and the governing equation.

- [Transient Thermal Analysis in ANSYS](^1^): This is a YouTube video that shows you how to do a transient thermal analysis in Ansys workbench with an example problem.

- [Transient heat transfer analysis using ANSYS workbench](^2^): This is another YouTube video that demonstrates how to perform transient heat transfer analysis using Ansys workbench with a different example problem.

I hope this helps you understand what is Transient Thermal module in Ansys workbench.
