TTLV301 - Parallelepiped subjected to one
temperature imposed on its faces




Summary:

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

It is about a voluminal problem represented by only one modeling (3D).

The functionalities tested are as follows:
·
voluminal thermal element,
·
transitory algorithm of thermics,
·
limiting conditions: imposed temperature.

The results are compared with an analytical solution.

Summary of the results
The results obtained are satisfactory. The maximum change obtained (0.816%), is located at the point H placed
halfway enters surface external and the center of the parallelepiped. At the end of 1.2s, this variation
decrease, the maximum obtained is then of 0.059% (not O: center parallelepiped).
This test made it possible to test in linear transient modeling 3D with meshs HEXA27.
