Thermal Analysis with Patran Thermal Training Course (PAT312)

Day 1 is an intensive review of Patran focusing on building heat transfer models for Patran Thermal. Days 2 through 4 begin with an initial overview of Patran Thermal capabilities followed by exposure to all features of Patran Thermal accessed through Patran. Each lecture and lessons will instruct you how to setup, execute, and post process the results of a heat transfer analysis. Lessons increase in the level of detail and complexity through the week.

Who Should Attend:

  • New Patran Thermal users
  • Engineering Analysts
  • University lecturers and students

Course Content:

  • Analysing models which include the 4 basic modes of heat transfer:
    • Conduction
    • Convection
    • Radiation
    • Advection
  • Exercising the two primary types of heat transfer analysis
    • Steady-state
    • Transient
  • Defining thermal materials
    • Constant properties
    • Variable and nonlinear properties
    • Built in thermal material properties database
    • User defined material poperties database
  • Describing and applying available element types and options
    • 1D Conductive or advective
    • 2D Planar
    • 2D Axisymmetric
    • 3D Solid and shell
  • Defining heat transfer loads and boundary condition that are either constant or variable for:
    • Temperatures
    • Heat fluxes
    • Volumetric heat sources
    • Nodal sources
    • Convection heat transfer coefficients
    • Contact heat transfer coefficients
    • Advective flows
    • Thermally radiating surfaces
  • Programming user supplied subroutines to:
    • Customise a solution, output, or runtime computation
    • Access solution parameters and model properties during runtime
  • Using the built in hydraulic network solver and its associated element and boundary definitions
  • Accessing and customising control parameters
    • Define solution type
    • Define converge and performance criteria
