Manual para resolução de problemas típicos de natureza fluida, fluido-térmica e estrutural, por meio do método dos elementos finitos através do nx siemens

Abstract

In this work, the finite element method is presented and its importance as a way of helping mechanical engineers since graduation is discussed. A brief history is shown, how the method works, and how it can be applied through the NX Siemens software. In addition, examples of thermal, fluid-thermal and structural nature from bibliographical references established in the teaching of mechanical engineering were solved. These examples were presented analytically and then through simulations in Nx Siemens and the results obtained are compared and discussed with the aim of validating and promoting the use of these tools. The choice of this topic was motivated by the lack of use of computational tools in undergraduate courses. This way up, the objective is to present a step-by-step guide to solving problems seen in undergraduate studies through simulations, based on finite elements, using NX Siemens.
