SimuliaWorks - THERMAL STRUCTURAL Tutorial

Step-by-step SimuliaWorks thermal/structural tutorial on a simple model. Viewers can follow along using models which can be downloaded at the links below. The model file contains a simple microchip and heat sink. The steps include: -A steady-state thermal step -Custom material creation -Creating contacts -Initial temperature, heat power, and film coefficient boundary conditions -Stabilization restraint -Meshing models -and more SimuliaWorks is a tool available on the 3DExperience platform which uses the world class Abaqus solver for performing high-level FEA work.
