Little doubt with Thermal/Estruture Analysis.

Hello!

I'm triyng to do a thermal/estructure analysis. I Would to know how the program works with the changing on Young's Modulus, because of the increase of temperature on material.

By tutorials, I set up MAT 1 and turn on MAT 4, to thermal properties. But, don't have any relation between the shape of Young's modulus and temperature.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

If it is a thermo-structural analysis, E will affect the structural part of the analysis.

Hello Prakash!

Yes, i agree with you. But i would to know, how the temperature affects the E. The software, consider this interference?

Thanks in advance!

Yes It is posible, using MATT1. If you have temperature dependent young's modulus curve you can fed it to the preprocessor using TabledM data.

Thank you everyone!

But i'm with another issue. I'm trying to perform an analysis in a brake disk. I did the interface of conduction on two sides. And then, i put a flux on elements from this interface. The value of this flux is the (total energy to be absorved/number of nodes) ? How may i use the SPC? I don't understand how it is used. I did the tutorial, but didn't understand...

Thanks in advance!
