Video 1: A Quick Introduction to Multi-Physics for IronCAD (10:19)

• Build a simple block model

• Add the FEA toolbars if necessary

• Add an FEA simulation to analyze the block

• Add boundary conditions

• Analyze the model with AutoSolve

• View Results

Video 2: Modification and a New Material (9:04)

• Use the IronCAD Save-As command save a copy of the model and FEA data

• Add a cylindrical hole to the block and analyze

• Add an Aluminum cylinder to the end of the steel block

Video 3: Mesh Refinement (11:25)

• Reduce the global mesh size to refine the entire mesh

• Reduce the Curvature Refinement Ratio to refine the mesh in curved regions of the model

• Add local mesh refinement to a surface or part

Video 4: Results Options (13:09)

• Inquire on nodal values

• Specifying units for result quantities

• Turning off Advanced Results for a short list of common results

• Scale Animation and AVI creation

• Cutting Plane and specifying orientation

• Inquire node on cutting plane nodes

• Plot nodal values along a specified line: Plot along direction

• Integrating results on the selected FEA faces

• Integrating results on the cutting plane

Video 5: Multi-Physics adding Thermal to Stress Analysis (8:45)

• Add thermal analysis to a stress model for multi-physics

• Verify the reference temperature for thermal expansion

• In Results, calculate the heat flow through a section of the model cut by the cutting plane

• In Results, view the heat flow vectors within the model

• In Results, view streamlines associated with the heat flow
