I am cooling down a glass plate that is at 400C and putting it on two stainless steel supports that are initially at 25C. How to define the contact temperature of these two different bodies on ANSYS?
I have tried to set the initial temperature at 350 and apply 25C as the temperature of the support, but in that way I have to manually tell the program how does the temperature evolve, which I don't know. The same if I apply this condition to the plate.
Is there a way to just define the two different temperatures and let them evolve on the program?
Ok, so I have been trying ANSYS for quite a while now. My problem resides in defining the initial temperatures for the two bodies, because it has a tab "initial temperature". If I set it to 25C, I have to apply a temperature condition for the hot body, and say it has a linear decay (with laboratory experience). If I set the initial temperature in the left tab, I will have to apply a temperature of 25C condition to the cold body, and it will be constant throughout the solving process (which does not match reality). What other ways are there to solve it? Thank you!
Have you input the nonlinear coefficient of heat transfer for each material? If not, then you are asking ANSYS to determine how the heat transfer will occur. ANSYS cannot provide you with unknown data. ANSYS can only process known inputs and provide conclusions. It sounds to me like you may want ANSYS to provide you with data that should be input.
