HELLO,

i want to apply a temperature of say 80 degree and see the displacement result. please help me how to do thermal analysis in optistruct. this is not conduction or convention problem...i just want to deal with coefficient of thermal expansion. it would be enough to know how to apply temperature as a load and boundary condition.

All replies are welcome

 

Thanks,

Ramesh
