EX_HEATTRANSFER5 2D Transient cooling and shrink fitting example.
[ FEA, OUT ] = EX_HEATTRANSFER5( VARARGIN ) This example models transient cooling for shrink fitting of a two part assembly. A tungsten rod chilled to -10 C is inserted into a steel frame heated to 84 C. The assembly is cooled due to convection through a surrounding medium kept at 17 C, and a constant heat transfer coefficient of 50 W/(m^2 K). The time when the maximum temperature has cooled to 70 C should be determined
Accepts the following property/value pairs.
Input Value/{Default} Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hmax scalar {0.005} Grid cell size
sfun string {sflag1} Finite element shape function
solver string fenics/{} Use FEniCS or default solver
iplot scalar {1}/0 Plot solution (=1)
