Thermal
Thermal analysis predicts how thermal effects propagate through the model. Steady state and thermal transient analyses are supported.

state and thermal transient analyses are supported.
Note: Thermal analysis is
supported for all connection types supported by SimSolid. The table below summarizes the connections that
work as conductors and insulators. Regular connections, by default behave as
conductors but they can be changed to insulators at a global level or at
analysis level.
