ANSA offer all the main pre-processing functionality for setting up advanced Thermal Analysis cases, throughout a wide range of industries such as automotive, architecture, defense and electronics.ANSA supports and delivers high quality pre-processing capabilities for RadTherm and THESEUS-FE solvers through respective interfaces. The users can take advantage of the numerous functions of ANSA for the generation of high quality meshes and prepare cases by defining materials and Boundary Conditions necessary for modeling in RadTherm and THESEUS-FE solvers.

- Multi-core, 64-bit, double-precision for maximum speed, memory access and accuracy

- Direct Input/ Output of native RadTherm and THESEUS-FE files- Customized GUI for Thermal Analysis cases- Geometry cleanup and watertight preparation tools- Generation of high quality meshes, suitable for heat transfer

applications (tria & quad elements)- Surface wrapping for complex geometries- Mesh morphing functionalities- Interface for RadTherm and THESEUS-FE solvers

Support of:

-Materials definition (Fluid, Solid, Anisotropic, Clothing, Transparent)

- Thickness and material definition for multi-layer parts-Fluid Stream boundary conditions-Assigned and Calculated temperature BCs-Environment definition (Natural and Bounding Box options)-Solver settings (Solution Parameters, Convergence Criteria, Weather files)

Support of:

-Thermal material properties definition for isotropic and anisotropic materials in NASTRAN format (MAT4, MAT5)

-Thickness and material definition for single layer and multi-layer shell elements (PSHELL, PCOMP)

-Material properties definition for groups of bar elements (PBAR, PBEAM, PCOMP)

-Boundary Condition definition for convection radiation and sun position

-Main solver settings-Support of AIRZONE and VOLUME keywords-Definition of functions as curves

-Support of all the main thermal properties(Temperature,Radiation, Convection, Conduction and more...)

-Plot generation (Temperatures and other thermal properties) on elements and parts

-Results comparison (different solvers, meshes,models,setups)-Report capabilities (HTML, PPTX or PDF reports)
