FEA Thermal Simulation Tutorial using a Brake Rotor from the SolidWorks SAE Tutorials

 

Check out this video tutorial using SolidWorks Simulation to run a FEA thermal analysis on a brake rotor from the SolidWorks SAE tutorial.  This video shows the set up and running of a thermal simulation that looks at the temperature distribution occurring on a brake rotor while stopping.  In the second part of this video, which will be posted next week, the study will be used in a new static simulation study to see if the brake rotor will warp while braking.
