Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to find the ambient temperature of a system by performing a Thermal study in Simulation. I have gone through the different thermal loads within a study of the part and the ambient temperature is an input rather than a result of the study. I have a feeling that this type of study is to model the thermal reaction of solid parts rather than flow around. Any insight/direction is appreciated.
Francisco,
I'm not very knowledgeable about Simulation or Flow, but I think you are correct. Thermal Simulation is normally used to figure out what happens to the solids, assuming any fluids around them are at a certain temperature. I think you need to use Flow if you want to find out what happens to the temperature of a fluid when a solid at a certain temperature is immersed in it.
