Consequential thermal loads.

[Anonymous]

How do I create consequential thermal loads on the same model (surfacing teeth of a sprocket)?

By creating the clone of the case study you can copy the same previous case condition for the same model. 

By right-clicking the case study option below the model components. You can create a clone of the same study by clone option.

It's a little different thing. I need to find optimal surfacing sequence from one of three listed below. So I was a bit wrong with the question. To perephrase it: can I somehow create sequence of thermal loads (one after another)in the same STUDY?

@Anonymous I don't think so you can have different results for different thermal loads in the same case. Because, if this is possible why the fusion gives the option of the clone. Its is all because they want us to conduct different condition in different cases for having better results and understanding.

Hi @Anonymous 

It sounds like you want to do a transient heat transfer analysis: heat area 1 for X seconds, then heat area 2 for X seconds, and so on. Is that what you want to do?

If it is, Fusion does not perform a transient heat transfer analysis. You could use Inventor Nastran to perform that type of analysis.

If you are trying to do something different, please let us know what type of analysis you are using, and what the loads and desired results are.

I need to find out which surfacing sequence of a sprocket leads to least possible remaining heat deformations.

Hi @Anonymous 

Whatever it is you are trying to do, you cannot do it the way you want to do it. The best you can do is run study 1 with 1 heat load, clone the study, run study 2 with 2 heat loads, close the study, run study 3 with 3 heat loads, and so on.
