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.
