This example problem shows how to easily set up and perform a thermal-stress analysis of a cooled turbine blade using Ansys Workbench Mechanical. To see this example solved with Ansys Mechanical APDL see Thermal-Stress Analysis of a Cooled Turbine Blade in the Technology Showcase: Example Problems.
The following features and capabilities are highlighted:
Use of surface-effect capabilities to simulate convection loading on solid regions.
Use of one-dimensional fluid flow capabilities to obtain a highly accurate thermal solution for convection loading.
