In this video, I’ll show you how to do a simple steady state thermal analysis of a plate with the FEA software Ansys.

Hi,
I would like to thank you for all the articles in your blog. I’m learning a lot thanks to them.
I have just one question about heat transfer analysis.
Is Heat transfer Analysis so sensible to the quality of the mesh ?
If you are just interested by the Temperature result, your mesh doesn’t have to be that good (it’s the equivalent of calculating displacements for linear static structural simulation). If you are interested to calculate the flux of heat, then you will need much finer mesh.
