Opening the Assembly

Browse to drive letter:\Users\Public\Public Documents\SOLIDWORKS\SOLIDWORKS version\samples\Simulation Examples\Thermal\JetShield.SLDASM and open the file.

The Partial study includes:

  • A thermal study
  • Transient properties defined for the study: a total time of 1,200 seconds and a time increment of 120 seconds
  • Materials for all components
  • An initial Temperature of 30 °C for the shield and 2000 °C for the liquid jet
  • Convection on the outer faces of the shield

Since we are assuming that the temperature of the liquid metal jet remains constant at 2000 °C, the choice of material for the liquid jet component is irrelevant in this case. Emissivity is specified when defining radiation.
