Thermal Expansion and Thermal Stress

The FEA capabilities in Inventor Simulation are great for determining design stress, deflection, and safety factor under static conditions, but in the real world temperature often plays a significant factor. Maybe you even have components of differing materials that must hold tolerances through a temperature variation. Autodesk Algor can give you the kind of digital simulation results you need to work within those constraints.


Here are two new video examples of Algor in use to solve these common thermal problems:
