Hi, I am trying to formulate a 2D model to calculate the temperature change over time in a composite material.
The material consists of several layers, and is heated from all edges by a known temperature vs time profile.
I was thinking of creating a finite element model.
Can someone point me to a similar example? I have done 1D conduction model before but always with a homogeneous material. Do I just have to create nodes throughout and assign different material properties to each?
I have attached a schematic of what I am trying to describe.
Thanks
