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

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.

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,
