Bushing Joint simulation in Ansys W14

Click For Summary
Simulating a bushing joint in Ansys W14 to conduct heat between two parts is feasible through a coupled physics analysis. This setup allows for a cylindrical support condition in structural analysis while implementing a thermal contact condition for heat conduction. Different physics regimes can utilize varying contact conditions without needing uniformity. A specific command, "keyopt, cid,1, 2," can be added to ensure the contact only has temperature degrees of freedom. This approach effectively combines bonded contact with temperature DOF and the bushing joint for successful simulation.

Is it possible to simulate a bushing joint between to parts
that would also conduct heat from one part to another?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
It's possible to set up a coupled physics analysis in which the structural analysis has a cylindrical support condition, and the thermal portion has a thermal contact condition which conducts heat.

Different physics regimes do not have to have the same number or type of contact conditions for a coupled physics analysis.
 
Thank you. I solved this by adding command to the contact

keyopt, cid,1, 2

so that the contact only has temperature DOF.
 
so bonded contact with only temp dof and bushing joint did the job.
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
