This tutorial demonstrates how to solve the 2D heat conduction fin problem using the FEAScript platform with a no-code, block-based approach. For the mathematical formulation and theory behind this example, see the JavaScript API tutorial.
The example uses the same mathematical model as described in the JavaScript API tutorial - a steady-state heat transfer problem with a mix of boundary conditions (constant temperature, symmetry, and convection). This visual platform approach provides the same results as the JavaScript API implementation but allows you to set up and solve the problem without writing any code.
Follow these steps to load and run the Heat Conduction in 2D Fin simulation:
The FEAScript platform Control Panel
HeatConduction2DFin.xml
file from your computer.
You can download this file from the FEAScript platform examples repository .
The loaded block diagram showing the complete 2D fin simulation setup
These blocks represent the same setup as described in the JavaScript API tutorial. If you need help understanding the different block types and their functions, refer to the FEAScript platform help page.
This will execute the blocks in sequence, performing the finite element analysis.
The temperature contour plot showing the heat distribution in the 2D fin
The results are the same with those obtained from the JavaScript API tutorial.
