Structural and Thermal Analysis with MATLAB
Overview
Learn how to perform structural and thermal analysis using the finite element method in MATLAB. Using a few lines of code you can analyze how mechanical components behave under loading, vibration and other physical effects including solving linear static, modal and transient analysis problems.
You will learn how MATLAB can be used to create and share custom Apps which use finite element analysis and how to perform parameter sweeps by running multiple models in parallel.
This webinar will demonstrate the workflow for 3D thermal and structural mechanics including:
- Importing geometry from STL
- Meshing the geometry
- Applying material properties, boundary and Initial conditions
- Solving and Visualizing the results
- Leveraging other MATLAB products for parallelization and deployment
