This document provides the procedure for performing a thermal analysis on a square plate considering conduction using ANSYS. It involves 8 steps: 1) Starting ANSYS, 2) Selecting thermal analysis, 3) Defining the plate geometry and mesh, 4) Applying temperature loads, 5) Solving, 6) Post-processing to plot contour maps and temperature along defined paths, 7) Animating deformed results. The aim is to determine the temperature distribution within the plate considering its thermal conductivity.
