The success of many structural designs requires a thorough understanding of both the thermal and mechanical responses of the design. Temperature-dependent material properties, thermally-induced deformation, and temperature variations all may be important design considerations.

This course introduces you to the heat transfer and thermal-stress capabilities available within Abaqus, including:

• Steady-state and transient heat transfer simulations
• Cavity radiation problems
• Latent heat effects
• Adiabatic, sequential, and fully coupled thermal-stress analyses
• Contact in heat transfer problems

Practical examples and workshops are used to illustrate these capabilities.
