Thanks for the advice, I have managed to acquire a simple temperature distribution which seems reasonable.
I guess my next question is how to import this distribution into a static study to investigate stress, or if this functionality is available?
Regards,
To grasp the fundamentals of the procedure I plan to first ignore the cooling effect of the engine coolant and look solely at the temperature distribution across the solid body and then hopefully investigate the stresses at the valve heads and combustion chamber.
Using my simple cylinder head...
Thank you for the replies, although an old thread it's still a current topic for my dissertation. I must be honest I have only been concentrating on ensuring the mechanical stresses are correct although the next step is to look into thermal stresses which occur.
I have calculated an approximate...
Thanks for the adivce,
After searching through my model I noticed that I had made a mistake when applying the fixtures on some of the parts.
A very silly, simple mistake.

Hi guys,
I've attempted bumping an old thread as I imagine this problem occurs frequently but I could only find closed threads.
Early this year I ran a study to analyse the stresses within a quarter model of a cylinder head. It was an assembly drawing with five parts and the study ran fine.
I...
I am currently modelling an engine cylinder head in SolidWorks and originally only planned at investigating mechanical stress across key components.
However I now realise that I will also need to consider thermal stress. For instance the expansion of a component which is constrained by...
