Heat Exchange

In interface TYPE7 there are three heat exchanges: heat transfer, radiation and heat friction are allowed by Ithe=1.

For heat transfer between slave and master with Iform_the, two different heat transfer can be defined. One is set constant temperature in interface where, heat exchange is only between this interface and shell slave side. The other is heat exchange between all pieces in contact.

If Frad≠ 0, then radiation is computed inside of distance Drad (max. distance for radiation computation). It is recommended to not set too high of a value for Drad , otherwise Radioss Engine performance may be reduced.

Using Fheats and Fheatm frictional sliding energy will be converted into heat. Since friction heat is divided between slave and master side, generally Fheats + Fheatm < 1.0. The frictional heat QFric is defined:

If Iform=2 (a stiffness formulation):

Slave side: (1)
Q Fric =Fhea t s ( F adh F t ) K F t
Master side: (2)
Q F r i c = F h e a t m ( F a d h F t ) K F t
(Ithe_form=1)

Here, K is contact stiffness F a d h is adhesive force.

If Iform=1 (a penalty formulation):

Slave side: (3)
Q Fric =Fhea t s C V t 2 dt
Master side: (4)
Q F r i c = F h e a t m C V t 2 d t
