SS-T: 4030 Steady State Thermal Analysis
Perform a thermal analysis on a cup model.
- Purpose
- SimSolid performs meshless structural
analysis that works on full featured parts and assemblies, is tolerant of
geometric imperfections, and runs in seconds to minutes. In this tutorial,
you will do the following:
- Learn how SimSolid works.
- Setup a thermal analysis in SimSolid.
- Model Description
- The following model file is needed for this tutorial:
- cup.ssg
Import Geometry
