Heat Transfer Analysis Extender           This extender solves linear and nonlinear thermal designs by considering conduction, convection, heat flux, heat generation, radiation and thermal contact in steady-state or transient analyses. When coupled with stress analysis capabilities, it determines the effects of temperature on mechanical models composed of isotropic or orthotropic materials. When coupled with Mechanical Event Simulation with nonlinear material models, this extender can also determine creep of an object and the stress incurred as the temperature varies over time. When coupled with electrostatic analysis capabilities, it determines the effects of Joule heating. When coupled with fluid flow analysis capabilities, it determines the effects of natural, forced or mixed convection.
