Hi Friends,

 

how to assign the steady state transient thermal analysis result which as done in the 1st loadcase/subcase to followed by the  2nd  load case of Structural transient analysis.

 

Problem description:  Bracket component which is under the structural transient load and also  linear steady state heat conduction

( i need to club the load case of  OS-1080 and OS-1315  for the same component)

 

 i kindly request your suggestion.

 

Regards

Vinay Patel

    Hi Vinay,

     

    Can you try mapping the temperature results from a steady state thermal analysis into structural mesh using linear interpolation method available in HM under TEMP load.

     

    You can then perform either a linear/non-linear static analysis with TEMP as load. Please see the below lines:

     

    $

    SUBCASE       1
      LABEL Thermal
    ANALYSIS NLSTAT
      SPC =        1
      NLPARM =        6
      TEMPERATURE(LOAD) = 2

    $

    BEGIN BULK

    $

    TEMP           2       1    66.0
    TEMP           2       2    66.0
    TEMP           2       3    66.0
    TEMP           2       4    66.0
    TEMP           2       5    66.0
    TEMP           2    4099    66.0

     

    Thanks,

    Vikas
