TTLP300 - Thermal transfer in a bar
metal orthotropic




Summary:

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

It is about a problem plane 2D represented by only one modeling (plane).

The functionalities tested are as follows:
·
plane thermal element,
·
orthotropic material,
·
transitory algorithm of thermics,
·
limiting condition: convection.

The interest of the test lies in the taking into account of an orthotropic material.

The results are compared with a solution based on a graphic estimate.

T = 1.D-4
9 pitches for [1.D-3, 1.D-2] are
T = 1.D-3
9 pitches for [1.D-2, 1.D-1] are
T = 1.D-2
9 pitches for [1.D-1, 1.D0] are
T = 1.D-1
20 pitches for [1.D+0, 3.D0] are
T = 1.D-1

Summary of the results
The results obtained are satisfactory, the maximum change is 2.5% lower than the fixed tolerance
initially (5%) (the reference solution is obtained graphically).
This test made it possible to test in linear transient, modeling PLAN, the controls:
·
DEFI_MATERIAU
associated the key word
THER_ORTH
, allowing to define the characteristics
of an orthotropic material,
·
AFFE_CARA_ELEM
associated the key word
SOLID MASS
, allowing to define the axes of orthotropism.
