Thermal frequency response analysis

Qualitative measure of a system or device in response to a thermal stimulus used to characterize the behavior of a system. Thermal characterization of the transfer function response of the composition in frequency domain.

Axis positions

Define the position of the axis. Default is (0,0,0).

Loads

Open the load case container, where load cases can be defined (CTRL+K on load case to configure).

Add load case

Add a load case to the load case container. To configure the load case, click CTRL+K on the load case.

Thermal load

Define the thermal load that is applied to the system. Three types of thermal loads can be defined.

Type

Thermal load

Convection

Convection load applied to entity in [K]

Heat flux

Heat flux load apploed to entity in [W/m^2]

Heat flow

Heat flow load applied to entity in [W]

Add convection load

Add a convection load to the load case.

Add heat flux load

Add a heat flux load to the load case.

Add heat flow load

Add a heat flow load to the load case.

Hint

By right-clicking on the number in the first column, the load can be deleted.

Frequency range

Define the frequency range for the thermal frequency response analysis.

Number of points

The number of points defines how many steps between the minimal and maximal frequency are taken.

Start calculation

Start the calculation of the frequency response analysis.
