Free Solar Energy Tutorial – Thermal Modeling of Solar Energy Systems
Learn how to build thermal models of equipment exposed to solar heating with this introductory course. Use weather files from around the world to simulate scenarios like airplanes on runways, solar power plants, and more. Access to MSC Software’s Patran, Sinda, and Thermica is recommended but not required. Perfect for engineers with some experience in thermal modeling.
This course in an introduction to building thermal models of equipment that is exposed to solar heating and uses weather files from 1000’s of locations around the world. Examples would include an airplane sitting on a runway in the sun, electronic equipment exposed to solar heating, passive solar heating of buildings and houses, solar power plants or heating of automobile dashboards.
This class is based on MSC Software’s Patran, Sinda and Thermica. If you have access to these packages you will be able to complete the step by step tutorial problem. If you don’t have access to the software, you will still learn the process of creating a thermal model with solar heating.
Who this course is for:
- Engineers who have some experience in creating thermal models.
