Would anyone please let me know if PTC Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis has the following capabilities for thermal analyses? Any suggestions/recommendations are welcome too. Thanks a bunch!
Steady state and transient analysis
Conduction, convection and radiation
Temperature and pressure dependent thermal conductitivity
Anisotropic thermal conductivity
Material propety aliases (for easy re-assignent materials to models)
Automatic calculations of capacitances and linear conductances and radiation conductances thru MLI
Ablation calculations
Calculate interface conductances along surface edges
Thermoelectric coolers
User defined variables for parametric study
Verify model with checking tools (active surfaces, duplicate nodes, overlapping surfaces, free edges etc.)
Organize models using submodels
Manage models with Model Browser
Run multiple analysis cases in sequence
Postprocessing tools for animation, temperature history plots, and temperature contour plots, etc.
Defeaturing tool (remove unnecessary features from CAD models) to simplify model meshes
Built-in functions for modeling primitive shapes, Boonlean Operations, 2D sketching tools
