OS-1010 - Define TEMP in Load Step

Altair Forum User

I try to follow up OS-1010: Thermal Stress Analysis of a Coffee Pot Lid using HyperWorks 2017 - Student Edition.

 

Everything works fine up to Step 8 Bullet 5, which is setting the Analysis type to Linear Static and SPC to constraints (Load Collector).

 

Unfortunately, I cannot find the settings described in Step 8 Bullet 6.

According to the tutorial (see Figure 1) I should now find TEMP in the Subcase Definition section between the Analysis types MPC and DEFORM. There, TEMP should be set to THERMAL_LOADING (Load Collector).

 

Fig.1:  Creating the brew cycle loadstep (Fig. 8 from tutorial OS-1010 with additional highlighting)

 

As I cannot find TEMP in the Subcase Definition section (see Figure 2), can I use TEMP from the Subcase Options section instead?

Has anyone here performed this tutorial successfully using HyperWorks 2017 - Student Edition?

Hi,

Just scroll down using slider within entity browser, then you would find TEMP card.I think problem is because of given screenshot. PFA same.

Thank you Rahul,

 

I could find it.

 

I managed to get results with some additional settings (see screenshot), but only once. Right now - unfortunately - I cannot reproduce them.

Thanks for the update.Till 13.0 version we had TEMP option listed under linear static,from 14.0 version onward user need to call TEMP card within entity state browser.

Now I found the correct settings! I was a little too fast with sending my previous posting.

 

Setting Load Step > SUBCASE OPTIONS > TEMP > SID (LOADCOLID) > TEMP > Loadcol (THERMAL_LOADING) did not help. Using those settings only led to the following error message to be prompted:

 

*** ERROR # 720 ***
 Invalid static SUBCASE that has no load or enforced displacement.
     subcase id = 1

 

For a successful calculation of OS-1010 I used the following settings:

• Load Step > SUBCASE OPTIONS > TEMP_LOAD > SID (LOADCOLID) > TEMP > Loadcol (THERMAL_LOADING)
• Load Step > SUBCASE OPTIONS > TEMP_LOAD > SID (SUBCASEID) > TEMP > Loadcol (brew cycle)

Figure 1 shows, where one can switch from LOADCOLID TO SUBCASEID and vice versa.
