Requires Basic StressCheck and Linear Solver Module 

Linear, steady-state heat conduction with prescribed temperature, flux and convective boundary conditions.  Also supports radiation and temperature dependent materials.  Temperature dependent material properties can be specified as a formula or as tabular data.  The computed temperature distribution can be used in a very convenient way for computing the load vector for thermo-elastic problems.  Simply solve the heat transfer problem, switch reference/theory selector from Heat Transfer to Elasticity, apply constraints to the model and solve.  

StressCheck's unique heirarchic modeling framework makes it easy to pass from a linear HT analysis (convection) to a nonlinear HT analysis (radiation).

Advantages:

• Applicable to planar, axisymmetric and three-dimensional problems

• Predict problems with linear, steady-state heat conduction with prescribed temperature, flux and convective boundary conditions.
• Radiation and temperature dependent material properties
• A thermo-elastic problem can be easily simulated by applying a Heat Transfer Analysis temperature distribution to the same mesh in elasticity as a thermal load.
• Simply select the Heat Transfer Analysis solution as a loading condition and StressCheck will automatically apply the thermal distribution to the mesh
