We are absolutely pleased how the project was executed. The quality of the results is excellent and we learned a lot. Petra Steffe MAN Diesel & Turbo in Economic Engineering, May 2008 Its a big advantage that the CAE consultant works with the same simulation software as oneself. By that the results can be used for further post-processing without additional interpretation effort. Andreas Linke MAN Diesel & Turbo in Economic Engineering, May 2008

At Goodrich Wheels and Brakes, we've recognized the need to shorten our analysis cycle time. New software capability was identified as essential to meeting that need and ANSYS' product was found to be the most capable. Furthermore ANSYS has worked well with us to realize the necessary improvements in our process, proving they are not merely a software provider but a full solution provider.

ConvectiveSurfaceBoundaryConditionin2D AxisymmetricAnalysis
With ACT, add dedicated toolbar and button for object creation One additional convection is created as a new user defined load This convection enables the scope of surfaces Both the transformation from a 2D axi to a 3D shell formulation AND the convection itself are generated

The thickness is mandatory to create the shell elements

The presented solution integrates both the standard boundary conditions and the specific convection applied on the blade
