Brief Summary
This course introduces you to building thermal models that deal with solar heating. You'll work with real weather data from all over the world and see how things like airplanes and buildings respond to the sun's heat. It’s all about making cool (or hot!) models!
Key Points
-
Model thermal systems exposed to solar heating
-
Use weather data from thousands of locations worldwide
-
Examples include airplanes, electronic equipment, and buildings
-
Hands-on with MSC Software's Patran, Sinda, and Thermica
-
Learn the process even without software access
Learning Outcomes
-
Build simple thermal models using software
-
Understand the impact of solar heating on different systems

Gain practical skills for real-world applications
-
Even learn the modeling process without specific software
About This Course
Learn to model thermal systems with solar heating and realistic worldwide weather data
This course in an introduction to building thermal models of equipment that is exposed to solar heating and uses weather files from 1000's of locations around the world. Examples would include an airplane sitting on a runway in the sun, electronic equipment exposed to solar heating, passive solar heating of buildings and houses, solar power plants or heating of automobile dashboards.
This class is based on MSC Software's Patran, Sinda and Thermica. If you have access to these packages you will be able to complete the step by step tutorial problem. If you don't have access to the software, you will still learn the process of creating a thermal model with solar heating.
