Great video this was super helpful! But I would point out that the heat power is the *change* in kinetic energy over the time interval between the initial and final velocities. You could also do a simple dynamic analysis of a car in which you calculate the braking force at the front wheels. Determine the distance traveled to calculate the work done by the front brakes, then divide the work by the time interval (say 4 seconds). Also divide this by 2 to isolate one brake pad and you will get a much more accurate heat power than simply assuming 60% of the brake force is done by the front brakes.
@@chrisb7161 i am clicking on the assembly but it’s not selecting it. How am i supposed to do it if i wanna click just on the assembly not all surfaces
Great video!! Can you to make a simulation of disc brake with analysis thermal, because I am studing a project of brake system and I have difficult for to move the disc brake.
Hi Jose, I find it difficult to only select the surface where my brake pad is going to make contact to the rotor as my rotor is a bit bigger than the surface of my brake pad? Thank you
I also had this problem. Solved it by sketching 2 circles which would be the outlines of the brake pad touching area. Then I used 'Split Line' to get those 2 circles on the rotor. After doing this you can select the brake pad area in the simulation. :D
SolidWorks, how did you make your brake disk model such that you were able to select and test only the area that would be in contact with the brake disk? Thanks
I am fairly certain he used the "Split Line" feature to divide the surfaces, twice, once for the swept path of the pad, and once again for the pad itself. (and on both sides of the disc) This is why he references selecting 4 surfaces for the area.
@@mjktrash Hello, i know it’s been 4 years since your comment, but do you have any idea how he selected the initial temperature on the assembly from the feature manager? I can’t click it the way he does it so I’m clicking the faces for the initial temp and the analysis is giving me negative temperature on the disc

I did evrything as you said.. I got less temperature than ambient after simulation..
Because you need to select the solid body for your initial temperature not all the surfaces.

@@brucewayne3227I have the same problem, were you able to solve it? Can you tell me how?

hi... can you please tell me how did you find the convection coefficient of heat transfer using cfd?
Hi Shweta, could you post this question to the MySolidWorks forum for further help? my.solidworks.com/forums
@@solidworks Please make a video to teach us!!

Hi Leicester, is an assembly, this way you can select the part you need for the study
See my answer above.

Great!
