Is it possible to know the results of the non linear thermal model with temperature load from 293K to 373K like frequency analysis. Can someone explain briefly

For eg: I want the subcase like 303K, 313K,323K... (or any range values) to 373K. 

Instead of having initial and final temp results.

    Hi Venkatesh, 

    If you would like to solve for temperatures in the model, you can use steady-state or transient heat transfer analysis.

    If you are running nonlinear structural analysis (NLSTAT), then you need to define the initial and final temperature as loading to calculate the thermal strain.  So you can have multiple subcases with a different final temperatures if you want to evaluate the effects of different temperature changes.

    Thanks,
