Trouble with thermal analysis

Thomas Krokey Apr 2, 2018 6:45 PM

We are having trouble with thermal analysis. We are trying to do a steady state thermal analysis of an assembly generating from a specific part in the center. This assembly is composed of 60+ parts. What is the correct approach to completing this?

Hi Thomas,
If you are just starting out with SOLIDWORKS Simulation then you may want to first watch this intro video on running thermal studies in Simulation (GoEngineer - Simulation: An Intro to Thermal Analysis). This is a thermal analysis of a 5 body setup but goes over the essential boundaries for heat generation, heat dissipation, and contact resistance that would need to apply in your own 60 body analysis.
