Hi all, my name is Gorka Garcia... I work by Integral PLM Experts, Partner PTC Spain

I've a customer that ask me about Thermal Analysis axisymmetric

I've the load input (Vertical Line 45 W/m^2) and output (Horizontal Line -45 W/m^2)

The constraints temperature is 25ΒΊC

The material is water... Then the properties of water for Coef. Poisson and Young Module are similar to Steel ( a small cheat )

The result of Flux (W/m^2) is this.... initial in yellow curve zone and finished in output horizontal line... when should begin in input vertical line and continue to output horizontal line.

Also I should get the curves that go from line input to line output... as example this image of customer.

Who can you help me?

Thanks.

Does this help?

Hello Mr Charles

Not Exactly, but I believed which direction flux began in yellow corner... now I see that the direction flux is correct.

I need to get the "curves" 2D from input to output. These "2D" curves are to design the 3D model.

Thanks... I hope can you help me.... or other colleagues too.

BR,

Gorka

Gorka,

I understand. I don't think it's possible. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

You want the temperature 'streamlines'.

Each of these streamlines can start from an arbitrary point on the vertical heat input line. At the vertical heat input line they must be vectors normal to the vertical line.

These streamlines are normal to the iso-temperature contours shown below :

The vector plot and this is as close as we get.

But also, there is no way to output the curves as useful geometry.

It would be possible to write code to look at the results files and create output a table of x-y values for a datum point array to create datum curves.

Have a good weekend
