Part 1: Transferring Data from the Steady-State Thermal Analysis to the Fluid Flow Analysis In the Named Selection drop-down box, select CoilSurface.

10. Change Definition>Film Coefficient to W/m2C. 11. Change Definition>Ambient Temperature to C. The heat transfer (film) coefficient value should be approximately 1000W/m2C. This will be the estimate that you use for this part of the tutorial. In a later part of this tutorial, you will run the CFD analysis and compare the estimated number to the calculated number for the heat transfer coefficient value. At that time, you will replace the estimated heat transfer coefficient value with the full set of heat transfer coefficient values that are calculated from the fluid dynamics side. 12. To define the fluid solid interface, in the Mechanical application Outline view, right-click Project>Model (A4)>Steady-State Thermal (A5) and select Insert>Fluid Solid Interface. By defining the fluid solid interface, you will be generating the ANSYS External Data files (the files). These files will be used to transfer thermal data from ANSYS Mechanical to ANSYS FLUENT via External Data and System Coupling. 13. In the Details of Fluid Solid Interface view, change Scope>Scoping Method to Named Selection. 14. In the Named Selection drop-down box, select CoilSurface. 15. In the Mechanical application Outline view, right-click Project>Model (A4)>Steady-State Thermal (A5)>Solution (A6) and select Insert>Thermal>Temperature. 16. In the Mechanical application Outline view, right-click Project>Model (A4)>Steady-State Thermal (A5)>Solution (A6) and select Insert>Thermal>Total Heat Flux. 17. Click File>Save Project.

Executing the Structural Analysis

To create the temperature and heat flux distribution solutions, click the Solve button is located in the main toolbar of the Mechanical application. which

Post-Processing the Structural Analysis Results

When the solution is complete you will look at the temperature and total heat flux distribution results: 1. To look at the temperature distribution, in the Mechanical application Outline view, click Project>Model (A4)>Steady-State Thermal (A5)>Solution (A6)>Temperature.
