WS8-3 PAT312, Workshop 8, December 2006 Copyright 2007 MSC.Software Corporation Model Description In this exercise you will learn to create temperature dependent material properties. There are very few analytical solutions available for composite materials with temperature dependent conductivities. Recently, K.C.Chang and V.J. Payne published an analytic solution for the problem you will analyze in this exercise (Journal of Heat Transfer, Feb. 1991, Vol. 113, pp.237). Results of their work have been included a the end of this exercise to allow you to qualitatively compare your solution to theirs.

WS8-4 PAT312, Workshop 8, December 2006 Copyright 2007 MSC.Software Corporation Objectives You will create a 2D material slice consisting of two materials with temperature dependent material properties. You will visually and qualitatively compare the MSC/THERMAL results with the results of an analytical solution. Exercise Overview 1. Create a new database named exercise_08.db. Set the Tolerance to Default, and Analysis Code to MSC/THERMAL. 2. Create two surfaces which model the two adjoining material slabs. 3. Mesh the surfaces with an IsoMesh. 4. Identify cracks in the model and Equivalence the nodes at the mating surface edges. 5. Define the two materials using Fields/Create/Material Property/General. 6. Using the fields just defined create Material 1 and Material Apply element properties to the elements referencing the two material properties just defined. 8. Apply the three temperature boundary conditions to the edges of your model. 9. Prioritize temperature boundary conditions at the lower corners. 10. Prepare and submit the model for analysis. 11. Read results file and plot results. 12. Compare the results to the analytical solution. 13. Quit MSC.Patran.
