    Temperature distrubution in a cooling fin (result interpretation)

    Thanks for the suggestion uart, I'm not sure why it wasn't working, but it does now:)

    Temperature distrubution in a cooling fin (result interpretation)

    I am analyzing the lengthwise temperature distribution in a cooling fin (length: 30mm, width: 10mm, the tip is assumed to be adiabatic, Biot number is smaller than 0.1). When I try to calculate the dimensionless temperature distribution (see calculation below), I obtain a curve which has a...

    Deflected cantilever beam stress, Ansys

    I am a newcomer to FEM and Ansys, so forgive the possibly banal question: I have modeled a cantilever beam with a vertical point load acting at the free end using Ansys (using a PLANE42 element) and am slightly confused about the resulting plot for stress in y direction (y being the axis...
