Structural to Thermal Sequential analysis
Altair EmployeePlease someone tell me how can I go for sequential analysis from structural to thermal conditions. I have a disc in contact on two sides by pads and contact is frictional contact and rotation is applied to disc as decreasing function with time (i.e decelerating) and pressure is applied on pads in normal direction. Physically it would generate heat and convection is also defined with initial temperature condition. Now I want the increased temperature of the disc due to frictional heating and also need contact stresses and von mises stresses How should I proceed. It is easier to first go to thermal conditions i.e. apply heat flux and convection and then define a SPC mechanical constraint and solve the thermo - mechanical coupled problem as in one of the tutorial but I have to do first structural and then thermal to get temperature distribution. Please reply

If anyone having tutorial for contact with high friction coefficient based thermal analysis in NLGEOM please share.

Hi Shanky 456,
Can you try this?
1) create a structural linear static subcase
2) create a heat transfer subcase and refer the 1st subcase under STATSUB in heat transfer subcase.
