Question

I would like to inquire if it's possible to implement 2D heat transfer analysis in CIVIL, similar to the ones in FEA tutorials.

I'm curious if the 2D heat transfer analysis provided in FEA can also be implemented in MIDAS CIVIL.

I would like to know if in CIVIL, hydration heat analysis can only be performed with solid elements, or if it's possible to analyze separately like in FEA.

Answer

In MIDAS CIVIL, hydration heat analysis is only possible when using solid elements.

In MIDAS CIVIL, hydration heat analysis is only possible when using Solid elements.

This process involves applying temperatures obtained from thermal analysis as loads to calculate stress, primarily for the purpose of assessing cracks.

Therefore, it does not provide analyses separately, like 2D thermal analysis in FEA.
