7.1 tUtorial 9: thermal analysis of
meChaniCal strUCtUre
In this section, thermal analysis of an axisymmetric pipe with fins is pre-
sented. A pipe with cooling fins is to be analyzed for temperature and ther-
mal flux distributions under given loading conditions (see next page). The
model is axisymmetric. Also, only half the fin is modeled, so the bottom
of the model is a symmetry boundary.
