Temperatures and degree of cure used in curing thermoset materials (Simcenter Samcef)

Many properties of the Simcenter Samcef thermal and structural Curing materials may depend on three important thermal data:

• Classic Temperature.

• Glass Transition Temperature.

• Degree of Cure.

You can define these data in three different ways:

• You can explicitly define them in the Loads section of your Structural model.

• You can inherit them by chaining a Thermal analysis with your Structural analysis. The thermal data is fetched directly from the Thermal analysis results.Note: In this case, both the thermal and structural meshes must be identical.For more information on chaining solutions in Simcenter Samcef, see Chaining solutions (Simcenter Samcef).

• You can retrieve them by mapping a Thermal analysis onto your Structural model.Note: In this case, the thermal and structural meshes may be dissimilar.For more information on chaining solutions in Simcenter Samcef, see Mapping solutions (Simcenter Samcef).
