In this session, the three basic heat transfer mechanisms will be explained: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation. We will use 3 simple example simulations to better understand the influencing factors in a heat transfer process. We’ll then use this basic understanding to run a thermal analysis of a CFL to see how thermal simulation works for real-world problems.

Heat transfer is an important characteristic of many products across a variety of different industries. The SimScale Thermal Analysis Workshop is a free course that teaches mechanical designers and engineers how to use thermal simulation in the web browser for optimizing cooling and heating processes for improved energy efficiency and durability.

During the workshop you will:
Learn the fundamentals of thermal analysis for modern product design
Expand the knowledge based on practical examples of conduction, convection, and radiation simulations
Learn how simulation can help you to make better design decisions faster
Get a chance to apply the learning and knowledge into practice by repeating the simulation yourself
