The Simcenter 3D Space Systems Thermal course introduces thermal analysis capabilities specific for the space industry that include orbital heating, solar and planetary heating, and modeling of multi-layer and thermal protection systems. You will learn skills necessary to build or modify geometry, create a finite element mesh, define thermal boundary conditions, and perform sophisticated heat transfer analysis simulation processes focused on space applications. You will also learn how to use advanced modeling features to perform radiation, 1D hydraulic networks, articulation and motion, Joule heating, and Peltier cooler modeling. You will learn how to enhance the thermal solver functionality using user-written subroutines and plugin functions.
Design engineers and analysts who use Simcenter to model thermal and coupled thermal-structural solutions.
Working knowledge of NX modeling, Basic understanding of finite element analysis.
