Heat Transfer Analysis Training

---

Advanced discussion of the thermal analysis capabilities in Nastran. Topics include steady state heat transfer, and nonlinear transient heat transfer. Discussions include the necessary material data, and the ability to specify temperature dependent material data.

Prerequisites: Proficiency in the use of Femap, and basic Nastran knowledge
