Who is the course for
This course is designed for engineers wishing to analyse the steady-state or transient thermal response of structures.
Duration:
3 day
Course Aims:
To be able to:
- To become familiar with the elements and material properties required for heat transfer analyses.
- To understand which heat transfer mechanisms are important for a particular analysis and how to model them.
