![]() ![]() Note that once time dependency has been activated, the “Total Time” and “Time Increment” fields become editable. Once the study is created, I’ll first go into the study properties to toggle the transient option to activate time dependency. So, starting the study is done the same as all the other study types: A transient solution is appropriate when asking questions like: How long does it take? What is the temperature at time X? What if we vary heat sources/sinks with time? A transient study would give us information about the temperature of the metal at specific time intervals along the way and could tell us how long it takes to heat the metal to steady state. A steady state solution would tell us how hot the metal would get eventually. As an example, think of a piece of metal in a furnace. If you have not, I would suggest reading it first here.Īs a refresher, thermal analysis in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional allows for simulation of all 3 modes of heat transfer as either steady-state or time dependent. If you have found this blog, chances are you have already read my other blog that covers how to perform a steady-state thermal analysis. You can read more about these steps here: Six Steps To Your Simulation Study. Thermal studies are no different. How do I complete a transient thermal FEA study in SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional? Every study in SOLIDWORKS Simulation follows the same 6 general steps. ![]()
