Dear SimScalers,

in this week’s Project Spotlight we will have a look at the Thermal Shock analysis by @ahmedhussain18.

**Type of analysis:** Thermostructural Analysis - Uncoupled [thermomechanical analysis](https://www.simscale.com/docs/content/simulation/analysis_types/thermomechanicalAnalysisDescription.html) (advanced)

**Solver:** [Code\_Aster](https://www.simscale.com/forum/t/more-on-code-aster/32239)

**Transient or steady-state:** Transient

**Static or dynamic:** Static

**Nonlinear Analysis:** True

**Mesh Type:** [Tet-dominant](https://www.simscale.com/docs/content/preprocessing/meshing/tet-dominant-tutorial.html)

**Number of cores used for the simulation:** 32

**Computation time:** The analysis ran for a total simulation interval of 468 sec. (7.8 min.) on a 32 core machine and took around 323 min. to complete.
