Thermal
The objective of this course is to impart on the participants an understanding of the calculation of thermal and coupled thermal-mechanical problems using LS-DYNA. Topics dealt with in the seminar include modeling of the basic forms of heat transfer. The emphasis within this context is on thermal contact in LS-DYNA.
Content:
- Introduction and basics of thermal simulations
- Time step control
- select time step size
- fully implicit vs. Crank Nicolson
- Boundary conditions
- temperature, flux, convection and radiation
- hand calculated convection heat transfer coefficient
- Nonlinear problems
- solving a solid-liquid phase transition problem
- Equation solvers in LS-DYNA
- Gauss direct
- conjugate gradient iterative solvers
- Thermal contact for shells and thick shells
- Thermal-stress and thermal-fluid coupling
- Thermal modeling for special applications
- cooling of tools
- welding
- induction heating
- thermostat
The course is accompanied by application examples. A special application focus is on the coupled computation of forming processes. Upon request, this application can be dealt with more in depth.
