Create a Thermal-Structural solution

1. Define conditions for a thermal analysis with thermal loads and constraints, using only the thermal material properties.

2. Solve the thermal solution. This outputs nodal temperatures and the nodal heat fluxes.

3. Create a structural solution.

4. Right-click the subcase or substep node and choose Edit.

5. In the Edit Solution Step or Subcase dialog, set the Pre-Load Type option to Temperature.

6. Browse for the results file from the thermal analysis.

7. Solve the structural solution.

In the Simcenter Samcef Environment

1. Define conditions for a thermal analysis.

2. Solve the thermal solution.

3. Create a structural solution.

4. Right-click the solution and choose Edit.

5. In the Solution dialog box, click the Chaining page, and select the Activate Chaining check box.

6. From the Chaining Type list, select Chained thermal-structural analysis or Chained thermal-structural analysis with dissimilar mesh.

7. In the Loadcase Selection group, from the Source Type list, select Solution, and from the Solution list, select the thermal solution.

8. Click OK.

9. Solve the structural solution.
