Description

Ansys Thermal Desktop (TD) is software for heat transfer analysis, thermal radiation, environmental heating, and fluid flow design. With a strong focus on space applications, it includes capabilities like importing and meshing CAD geometries, orbit definition for radiative analysis and 1D multi-phase flow.
The latest releases introduce several innovations like a new template launcher for easier user experience, second order finite elements with higher order thermal solutions, participating media for radiative calculations, quadratic elements and a new integration with Ansys optiSLang, a process integration and design optimization software that automates simulation workflows and uses advanced algorithms to improve product performance through sensitivity analysis, optimization, and robustness evaluation.
Finally, a case study will be presented, using a combination of TD and optiSLang to understand the impact of different thermal parameters on the results.
