Physics Set-Up

Specify Material

Press Physics Region under Physics Definition, AIM should detect the body in question and highlight it. Now that we have the physics region defined, press next step and a dropdown menu should appear. Since the objective is now to select a material press Add > Physics Modeling > Material Assignment > Structural Steel. 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 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 button in the workflow and pressing 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 surface temperature was said to be 80 degrees Fahrenheit and the inside surface was said to be 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
