This lab will demonstrate how to use the Inverse Heat Transfer Wizard to determine heat transfer coefficients of between workpiece and a medium during a heat transfer process. Temperature measurement data are needed. Heat transfer coefficients can be functions of temperature or time. Multiple zones of heat-transfer coefficients are assigned to the workpiece.
Start a new Inverse Heat Transfer Wizard problem with problem ID BAR INVHEAT. You can do so by clicking the “New problem” button and choose “Inverse Heat”. Alternatively, you can right click on the directory tree to create an empty directory and then click “Inverse Heat” on the right side of the main window.

You should see a window as below, choose "English" for Unit System. Click"Next".

3.Import geometry
In page “Geometry”, choose “import from a geometry, KEY, or DB file” and click “Next”. Import geometry file “BAR INVHEAT.STL” from labs/ directory.
In page “Mesh Generation”, use 2000 for unstructured mesh. Click “Next”.

In page “Material”, choose “Load from material library” and click “Next”. Choose material "AISI-1015[70-2000F(20-1100C)]" from the "Steel" category.

In page “Initial temperature", for workpiece choose "Uniform" and set 1575 F. For Environment, choose constant 150F.

7. Temperature Measurement Points
In “Temperature Measurement Points” page, click “Add” button three times. Specify the measurement point coordinates by first selecting the corresponding rows on the table and then clicking on the object. Pick the points approximately as indicated in the graph: for the first point, pick a point near (1.249, 4.5, 4.5). For the second point, pick a point near (1.249, 0, 0.5). The third point is near (1.249, -4.9, 2.5). (Of course, you can also input this coordinates directly into the table.) Click “Next”.

In “Thermal History” page, click the "Load thermal history from a file" button and load the file “BAR_INVHEAT_Thermal_History.DAT” in directory /labs. Click “Apply” to see the graphs. Input 506 seconds for “Process End Time”. Click “Next”.

9.Heat transfer zones
In page “Heat transfer zones”, click “Add” twice. To define each heat transfer zone, first select the appropriate row in the table and then pick surfaces on the object. (You may need to use in the picking dialog at the lower-left corner in order to achieve ideal picking results.) As indicated in the graph below, pick the top (long narrow face) and end face surfaces for Zone #1, the bottom (the other long narrow face) surface for Zone #2.
Note that the symmetric planes should not be included in any heat transfer zone. In this set up, there are two symmetric planes, one of which is where the three temperature-measurement points are located. The other symmetric plane is the "minimum-Y" plane, which is near point #3. Click "Next".

In page “Heat transfer coefficient function definition (I)”, set heat transfer coefficient as a function of temperature. This function will be defined by HTC values at six different temperatures: 100, 400, 700, 1000, 1300 and 1600F. Therefore, toggle on “Initialize functions” and input "6" for “Number of control points”. In table “Control points”, input the temperatures accordingly. The default initial guess, lower and upper bounds are fine. Click “Next”.

In page “Heat transfer coefficient function definition (II)”, all defaults are fine. Click “Next”.

In “Simulation Control” page, use step definition “Auto”, and set “Temperature change per step” to 1.0. Click “Next”.

In “Optimization Control” page, all default settings are fine, so click “Next”.

In “Optimization” page, click “Check Data” to check whether all data are valid. If so, click “Start”. The optimization may take a few hours depending on the speed of your computer. (5 hours on a Pentium IV 2.0Ghz CPU.) You may activate the background command prompt to see program output.
After the first iteration is completed, you can see the history of the objective function on the left. During optimization, you can also view current optimization results by going to the next page.

In “Optimization Result” page, you can view the currently best heat transfer coefficients and compare the simulated thermal history with the measured thermal history. You can save the optimization results if necessary. Please note that the convergence of optimization procedures greatly depends upon the nature of the data used. For example when the temperature measurement points are on the surface, indicating at least one heat transfer zone per measurement point aids solution convergence. Similarly when the measured thermal data is a function of time, defining time dependent convection heat transfer coefficient can lead to faster convergence. Other factors that can influence the convergence include, spacing of the temperature data points to accurately represent the gradient information in the measured data and good initial guess if any that can be indicated to the system.
