Resumo(s)

We discuss the setup of a simulation on ANSYS to predict the thermal expansion of parts made of Nitinol. A simulation is justified for working conditions in which the part heating is not ho-mogeneous originating a temperature gradient across the part section such that an analytical estimate for the part expansion cannot be calculated. We apply the simulation to the topological optimization of a square section geometry and a bullet geometry for water assisted injection molding. For the topo-logical optimization we consider as parameter the wall thickness and consider both the cases of fast varying temperature and fast varying temperature and pressure.
