A thermal module model – showing the slope stability analyses results of an embankment Thermal Module Applications
The thermal deformation and stability of a model can be evaluated from the analysis results. Various thermal boundary condition types are provided in the program, including conditions with a thermosyphon system, boundaries with insulation, and convective heat transfer conditions. In a thermal geometry, static temperature and heat transfer can be modeled, the thermal properties can be defined for liner and solid elements. Thermal-hydro-mechanical coupling analysis is also supported within this module. The thermal module in RS2 is a new feature designed to simulate 2D thermal analysis for various geotechnical structure models using finite element methods.
Rocscience's flagship FEM software, RS2 is now capable of performing Thermal Analysis.
