Let's now take a look at the second term in the weak form-- that's

this term over here-- and it involves a derivative of the reading function
as well as the temperature.
So my temperature variations is that and the corresponding variation
of the derivative of the temperatures is that.
And since we have a linear interpolation,
the derivative is constant over each element.
For instance, if I want to know what is this value-- the derivative over
here-- it's just going to be this value minus this value divided
by the length of the element.
So that value is going to be t2 minus t1 divided by delta x, correspondingly
for this element and so on.
And that's the derivative of the varying function,
and again that's going to be piecewise constant.
For instance, this value here is going to be w2 minus w1 divided
by that distance, which is delta x.
And then, I'll have to go and figure out what this was second element, and so
on.
And then I need to plot these variations in here.
And let's say I'm doing it over the first element.
This is constant, this is constant, and k is constant.
So I can bring all of this our of the integral
and I'll just get integral of dx over the element,
which is the length of the element.
And so I have to multiply this by this, and w1 is going to multiply t2.
It's also going to multiply t1, so I'm going
to get terms such s w1, t1 and w1-- t2.
Similarly, for w2 as I've talked about before.
And when you look at the stiffness matrix-- form of it-- what
this means is these terms will go into appropriate rows and columns
of the stiffness matrix.
So you have to do the bookkeeping, like OK,
this term-- I know that it's going to go into the first row
of the-- whatever coefficient I have here
will go into the first row of the stiffness matrix.
Which means, that this term affects the stiffness matrix,
whereas, these two terms effect the force vector on the right hand side.
And there's a very important takeaway from this,
which is if I want to know the algebraic equation at this particular node, which
temperature values will involve?
I'll say, OK, it's going to involve-- so I look
at what variable w2 is multiplying.
w2 is multiplying t1, it's multiplying t2--
that comes from integral over the first element--
and then w2 will multiply t2 in this integral, but it will also multiply t3.
Which means that when I write the algebraic equation
and I'm going to collect, terms the algebraic equation at this node
will involve the temperature value here and it'll
involve the temperature value here and the temperature value here--
it will involve temperature value here.
And we can come up with a general principle.
So we look at-- OK, the equation here will involve this node
and then leave a temperature at this node
and then we will look at the elements that are connected to that node.
So I have this element connected to the node-- and this element--
and then I look at what are the nodes connected to that element?
So I have this node here that's connected to that element and this node
here that's connected to that element.
And I can deduce that the algebraic equation at this node
will involve these three temperatures.
And I can generalize this.
So you have this complicated mesh analysis and I'm thinking about,
OK, this node is connected to these elements
and then those elements, in turn, are connected to these nodes.
And so I know that this node-- Ansys will write relationships connecting
the temperature at that node or displacement when
you go to structural mechanics to all the corresponding nodes.
And I feel like that's very useful when I'm in Ansys.
