Here is different a different simulation, the inserted material is different. On that previous picture, what has happened is that I changed the temperature legend so that I could see the hot spot in the corner that is supposed to be there, I had to adjust it so much the sides look blue because...
What it is, I have an actual composite plate with a inserted disk on the side, I am applying heat to it to see how the disk appears at different times. I am trying to model this in ANSYS and get the same results, I am having problems with this as well.
Experimentally I have the panel on a...
Thank guys. Here is what I have, I split the geometry into more pieces like you suggested, I am not sure if I did exactly like you wanted me to but it seemed to work! thanks! I did adjust the convection, going from non at all to a extreme "h" value and you were correct, it changed nothing. I...
heat flux
radiation
convection
The model was made using Autodesk Inventor (assembly) and saved as a STEP file (for some reason ANSYS here won't take the Inventor model as is) the pieces don't have any gaps between them
Contact region1
contact region2
contact region3
I think this is the file you wanted, I copied and pasted it from the solution information

The mesh that I have made have had both single layers and multiple layers but it does not seem to make a difference. I don't think I have any boundary...
I made two other models, one had the insert but the thickness was much larger than it is supposed to be, but the temperature seemed to come out pretty smooth. Another model I made instead of the panel being one large piece with a slot cut out of it I made it into 3 pieces. A large piece with a...
Thanks for the reply, I have tried refining the mesh by telling it an element size, but it does not see to help. I think the most I have tried is ~100,000 nodes and elements.
Where is the option "keep midside nodes" at?
Thanks!
Yes it is a transient thermal problem, time is from 0-12 sec. The heat flux convection and radiation is applied for the first 5sec and just convection and radiation for the last 7sec.
Thanks for the reply,
The first picture is a wire frame, the inserted piece is just in the corner. This geometry was made by making a solid plate then cutting out a slot then the other material was inserted into the slot. Then the next picture is what the results look like.
I have a plate 35mm X 35mm and is about 2mm thick. In the middle of the plate there is a round insert that is a different material that is .1mm thick and 10mm in dia. I am applying a uniform heat flux to the top flat surface for 5sec and then let it cool for another 5sec. When I look at the...
