This FEATool Multiphysics (https://www.featool.com) FEA simulation examines transient cooling for shrink fitting of a two part assembly. A tungsten rod heated to 84 degrees C has been inserted into a -10 degrees chilled steel frame part. The assembly is cooled due to convection through a surrounding fluid kept at 17 degrees. The resulting temperature distribution is shown as a function of time in order to establish the point at which the maximum temperature has reached 70 degrees.
