3 WS9-3 NAS104, Workshop 9, March 2004 Copyright 2004 MSC.Software Corporation n Problem Description u Create a model of a fin subjected to transient convection loading. The 2D finite elements are to be created by meshing non- congruent surfaces. Mesh seeds will be used to force the elements/nodes to be congruent at the interface of the surfaces. A transient load case needs to be created so the convection can be applied as a step loading, hence causing the transient response of the model. Convection to ambient (temperature) loading is to be created on the free edges of select surfaces. After the transient analysis is complete the results file is to be attached to the MSC.Patran database, and the temperature results viewed.
