Performing Thermal Radiation Between Surfaces Using Ansys Mechanical

Thermal radiation is a form of heat transfer in which there is no need for a medium between the two bodies. In Ansys Mechanical we model radiation between two surfaces using the radiosity solver which calculates the form factors between the surfaces and uses the temperatures from the finite element solution to perform radiation calculations. In this video, we will show how to set up the radiation between surfaces in Ansys Mechanical and solve and interpret the results.

Very comprehensive. Thank you!

[@Visheshshalini]

This is really good tutorial. Thanks

Hey thanks for the help!

Thanks for this well prepared content. How can I extend the duration of the process? It is analysing only 1 seconds.

If you're performing a steady state analysis, there are only two 'times', the initial conditions and the steady state. t=1 is meaningless as a time here.

Hi, I have conducted a 2D analysis but in the solution information I don't have the view factors section. It just says that view factors are stored in "file.vf". But if I try to open with notepad it is illegible. How can I check the view factor?

well, thank you but when we model the conduction, can we use the connection?
