8. Example Problems
The example followed above is a heat exchanger studied in transient heat transfer. The
completed geometry (ready to solve) for this problem, as well as the following example
problems, are included in the installation:
o A heat exchanger in transient heat transfer (Examples\Heat_Exchanger). Heat exchangers
are generally used to dissipate heat away from a heat source, such as a computer chip. In
this example, the heat source is on the left at a high temperature with the exchanger fins
on the right.
o A circular object with a circular hole (Examples\transient_heat) in transient temperature
modeling with time-dependent boundary conditions.
o A loaded plate (Examples\loaded_plate) similar to the cross-section of a bridge in a plane
stress analysis. The results will show which areas are under higher stresses and thus
more likely to fail.
o Modeling of magnetic fields in a geometry (Examples\Magnetic_Fields) that shows how
the magnetic potential will vary throughout the geometry.
o Modeling of electric fields in a geometry (Examples\Microstrip) that shows how the
electric potential will vary throughout the geometry.
o A clamped plate in bending (Examples\plate_bending). The results show which areas are
under higher stress and thus more likely to fail.
o A clamped plate in vibration (Examples\plate_vibration). The results show the natural
vibration modes and frequencies of the geometry.
o A turbine blade cross-section (Examples\turbine_blade_heat_steady) modeled under
stead state heat transfer. The results show the temperature distribution inside the blade.
o The turbine blade cross-section (Examples\turbine_blade_heat_transient) modeling in
transient heat transfer. The results show how the temperature distribution inside the
blade changes over time.
o A slightly different turbine cross-section (Examples\turbine_blade_circular_channels)
modeled in steady state heat transfer.
o The turbine blade cross-section (Examples\turbine_blade_thermal_plane_strain) under
thermal stress analysis. The results show both the temperature and stress distributions
inside the turbine blade.
o A plane stress analysis of a simple hook (Examples\hook). Finding the high stress areas
of a hook is important so that a hook can be selected so that it does not fail when loaded.
