Transient Thermal Analysis

[maker9876]

I'd like to model a container for a hot pizza: to study how the pizza cools.

Looking at the features in Simulation it's not clear how to do this?

A pizza is not a constant heat source but something with a certain, finite, amount of energy in it, related to it's temperature and specific heat capacity.

The other main variable is the temperature outside the box.

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi @maker9876,

You can't do this in Fusion today. I'd recommend something like Autodesk Simulation Mechanical to analyze this type of problem.

You can also vote for this on the idea station to help the Fusion team priortize new features http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/ideastation-request-a-feature-or/transient-thermal-analysis/idi-p/6026...
