11. Summary of results

A modeling among the four models carried out gives results whose value slightly exceeds the tolerance set initially (2%). The maximum difference is:

• 2.013% for modeling PLAN (TRIA6),

• 1.928% for 3D modeling (PENTA6),

• 1.913% for 3D modeling (HEXA8),

• 1.985% for modeling PLAN (TRIA3, QUAD4).

It can be seen that, regardless of the modeling, this difference is close to 2%; all the models carried out have the same division in the direction of temperature propagation.

The results obtained are considered to be acceptable for all the models.

This test made it possible to test the consideration of variable thermal conductivity with a limit condition varying over time.
