Bushing Joint simulation in Ansys W14

AI Thread 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 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
