    Hi,

     

    You can use the MATHE, choose your model (for instance Mooney Rivalin) and then use mechanic and thermal properties.

    Hi, 

     

    In MATHE, I dont see any option to enter Thermal conductivity. when  i am trying to run the simulation, i am getting the following error.

    Do you want to perform a thermal - structural analysis ? or only thermal analysis ?

     

    Because I don't understand the use of MATHE for thermal simulation ....

    Currently only coefficient of thermal expansion (TEXP) can be added to MATHE card.
