Physics Set-Up

Specify Material

Press Physics RegionSelect the Physics task, then press Material Assignments under Physics Definition, . AIM should detect the body in question and highlight it. Now that we have the physics region defined, press next and a dropdown menu should appear. Since the objective is now to select a material press Add > Physics Modeling > Material Assignment > Structural Steel. The By default, the entire object is now made of structural steel and we can add our other constraints.

Add Boundary Conditions

Once the material is defined the The internal and external temperatures can be input as Solid Thermal Conditions. Follow the highlighted blue Next Step button to add these temperatures via Add > Solid Thermal Conditions > Temperature. Another way of adding temperature is to press the physics Physics button in the workflow and pressing press Solid Thermal Conditions > Add > Temperature. Select the respective inside and outside faces and assign them the appropriate temperatures. Once you have selected a face, in order to assign it a temperature, you must press the blue ‘+’ button and then input the correlating temperature. Outside The outside surface temperature was said to be 80 degrees Fahrenheit and the inside surface was said to be 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  

Press Physics in the workflow below to return to the main Physics display and press Solver Options > Output Controls 1 > Output type > All.  Do this for both Output Specification 1 and Output Specification 2.

Return to the Physics task and press Press the blue Solve Physics button in order to calculate solutions.
