Heat Transfer Simulation

Heat Transfer Simulation using FEA are to be performed, in case stationary or time-dependant temperature fields within a component / assembly group in consequence of sources of heat are of particular interest. Project examples of stationary or transient Finite-Element-Simulations of Heat Transfer performed for customers of MORPHOTEC are:

• FE-Simulation of temperature fields (stationary or transient) within combustion engines (passenger vehicle, light and heavy truck) using heat transfer coefficients and near-wall fluid temperatures being calculated by means  of computational fluid dynamics.
• Layout of a liquid cooling system of injection moulds with near-wall cooling channels with the goal to reduce the cycle time of the injection moulding process.
• Conjugate heat transfer simulation of an electronic high-power resistor.

Our CAE-Serviceportfolio comprises the following fields

• Finite-Element-Simulations of heat transfer with
  • stationary and non-steady state conditions
    • heat flux
    • radiation
    • convection
    • fixed temperatures or temperature profiles
  • temperature-dependant material properties
  • transfer of simulated temperature fields to thermomechanical strength analysis
  • direct coupling of computational fluid flow analysis with heat transfer simulation
  • use of heat transfer coefficients and near-wall fluid temperatures calculated by means of CFD
