Thermal
Analysis software should take the three modes of heat transfer into
account. This is where the CFD excels because of it’s accurate
description of the movement of fluids in convection. EFD.Lab also
models conduction and radiation efficiently. Further this information
can be fed into the Structural Analysis Software to determine stresses
and deflections due to the resulting temperatures and heat fluxes.
This field brings the two packages together into a comprehensive analysis
suite.
