Hi all,
First of all any help is highly appreciated! I am trying to analyze heat transfer through a concrete block. Since the particles (aggregates) are randomly placed I need a help on that. In my search I realized that I need to have a code in MATLAB and link it to ANSYS. I am pretty confident with ANSYS but a new MATLAB user. SO, I wonder if any of you have a link or source for such code which I can use that to develop my own code.
Attached, contains the properties of the model which I am going to model.
Thank you very much for any help in advance.
In heat transfer problem you have three actions; conduction, convection, and radiation. for conduction you have to supply your software some parameters; conduction coefficients (Kx, Ky, Kz) for concrete, specific heat coefficient, concrete density. Also for convection you need to supply the film convection coefficient h in addition to the radiation coefficient for radiation.
You can follow the link below. It's used for random distribution of fibers. You only have to change the geometry to use it for aggregate.
