TTLL301 - Thermal transfer in a bar with
imposed temperature (sinusoid)




Summary:

This test results from the validation independent of version 3 in linear transitory thermics.

It is about a linear problem 1D represented by two modelings, one planes, the other voluminal one.

The functionalities tested are as follows:
plane thermal element,
voluminal thermal element,
transitory algorithm of thermics,
limiting conditions: sinusoidal variation of the temperature imposed in the course of time.
·
The interest of the test lies in the taking into account of the variation in the temperature imposed during
time and of the geometrical discretization.

The results are compared with those provided by NAFEMS.

Summary of the results
This test is recommended by NAFEMS (but with another type of mesh).
Two modelings carried out give the following results:
·
modeling A (PLANE with meshs TRIA3), the maximum change (3.48%) is higher than
tolerance fixed initially (2%),
·
modeling B (3D with meshs PENTA15), the maximum change (0.36%) is lower than
tolerance fixed initially (2%).
The limiting condition is given by using the control “
!FORMULATE
“. This choice allows good
representation of the taking into account of the condition limits of sinusoidal form.
Quadratic modeling is adapted to simulate this test. A finer and balanced mesh
for linear modeling would allow to obtain better results.
The results of modeling A are thus regarded as acceptable.
The main interest of this test is its origin: NAFEMS.
