TwoDimensional Heat Analysis Finite Element Method Example Using

Two-Dimensional Heat Analysis Finite Element Method Example Using Algor 20 November 2002 Michelle Blunt Brian Coldwell

Step by Step Algor Example 1. Algor→ Tools→ 5. FEA Mesh→ 2 -d Mesh Transfer to Superdraw Generation→ Generate Mesh 2. Modify→ Transform XY to YZ 6. Choose file name and appropriate units when 3. Rectangle icon on prompted CAD toolbar. Enter opposite corners in 7. Generate→ OK→ cartesian coordinates; Done… be patient careful using YZ plane!!! 4. View→ Enclose

Step by Step Algor Example 8. FEA Add→ Heat Transfer Analysis→ Applied Temperature→ Temperature Value→ Desired Value→ [Enter]→ Stiffness→ 1 e 6→ [Enter] 9. Box Apply→ Select only appropriate nodes→ Done 10. Repeat Box Apply until all boundary conditions are defined.

Step by Step Algor Example 11. Click “Model Data” 15. Global→ set Boundary near bottom of screen Temperature Multiplier to 1; Output→ Nodal 12. Analysis Type→ Steady Temperature Data; -State Heat Transfer Options→ Invoke 13. Element→ 2 -D→ OK Banded Solver→ OK 14. Data→ Thickness→OK 16. Material→ Choose/Edit→ OK

Step by Step Algor Example 14. Check →View in Superdraw→ Done 17. Analysis → Analyze…be patient →Done 18. Results → 17. Results tab → Displacement Data→Displacement Model →Done 20. Results tab → Displacement Data→ Displacement Contours →”Undisplaced model on” →”Displaced model on” → Done
