Finally, a tutorial about Transient Thermal Simulation ;-)
In this video, I’ll go through all the process to define and simulate a model with several parts and perform a transient thermal simulation in Salome Meca!
Yes, you have been a lot to ask me about this one… I hope this will finally clarify the simulation process for such simulation with Salome Meca as there are a few aspects which can easily lead to confusion.
Here’s the video:
You will learn in this video:
- How to import and mesh a CAD model with several parts
- How to perform a steady state thermal analysis with power source and convection.
- How to change the analysis into a transient state thermal simulation
- How to analyse and understand the results
Download the model here
If you are new to Heat Transfer, have a read at this article from the blog, it will help you a lot to understand the basic principles:

Hi Cyprien
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I am just getting started with Salome Meca, so it is just what I needed.
I’ve downloaded the step file from the link above but I cannot get it to open, even in Freecad. Is there a problem with the file, or is it just me?

Hi Hugh,
I checked and this is the right CAD file.
Have you tried to import it in Salome rather than FreeCAD?
Hello Cyprien
Yes, I did try first to import into Salome and when that failed, I tried Freecad. I will try again to download the file and see if I can get it to work. It looks like I am the only one experiencing difficulties.

I am using Salome 9.5, but it does not come with Aster wizard, how module do you use to run stress analysis?
Hi Cyprien,
many, many thanks making that video. Excellent for beginners. I am calculating with a huge temperature range. Is it possible to implement a temperature-dependent thermal conductivity? Thanks a lot.
