Rolling of a Rigid Wheel
The purpose of this model is to demonstrate pure rolling of a rigid wheel when given an initial forward velocity together with a prescribed lean about this direction. It is assumed that the the rolling motion of the wheel is not affected by contact such that all three components of the ... Read More
Thermal Connection, Facing Boundary
This tutorial model demonstrates the use of the multiphysics coupling feature Thermal Connection, Layered Shell, Surfaces. In this model, one layered shell is connected to heat domains by a facing boundary. The results obtained with the Heat Transfer in Shells interface are compared with ... Read More
Thermal Bridges in Building Construction — 2D Square Column
This example studies heat transfer in a square column. Cold and hot temperature conditions are applied to the boundaries. Due to the symmetry of the problem, the geometry is simplified to half of the square. The temperature field is compared with the analytic data. This example ... Read More
HAMSTAD Benchmark 4: Heat and Moisture Transport in a Wall, Response Analysis
This tutorial shows how to simulate coupled heat and moisture transport in a wall made of a load bearing and an insulation layer. Moisture and temperature conditions vary with time on both sides of the wall and rain loading is included. The 1D model is a benchmark test defined in ... Read More
Wheel Rim — Topology Optimization with Milling Constraints
Topology optimization can result in novel designs due the extreme design freedom associated with the method. Conventional manufacturing techniques impose constraints on the geometry which are often violated by topology optimization. This model demonstrates how the milling constraint ... Read More
Shape Optimization of a Tuning Fork
Extending the Tuning Fork model, this example shows how to set up an Optimization Study to determine the prong length at which the fork vibrates at the standard concert pitch, 440 Hz. Read More
Surface-to-Surface Radiation with Specular Reflection
The purpose of this model is to introduce the specular reflection in Surface-to-Surface Radiation using the ray-shooting algorithm. Different parameters are available to the user to yield better accuracy in the results when using the ray-shooting algorithm. The model is a standard ... Read More
Shape Optimization of a Water Heater
This model demonstrates how to find the optimal size and position of a water pipe in an air chamber, so that the energy absorption in the water is maximized. The objective is implemented as a constraint, so that the optimization terminates, when the desired performance is achieved. Read More
