Hi,
I created a structure and try to solve the equivalent stress. It meshes successfully, but fails in solution: An unknown error occurred during solution.
Attached is the solver output. Can anyone help me find the problem? Thanks.
I am analyzing a truss structure in ANSYS Workbench. It looks like uploaded figure.
I checked the strain after thermal load. The equivalent strain or equivalent total strain is much smaller than thermal strain.
But for stress, there's no choice for thermal stress. So is it included in...
I ask this because I notice that the equivalent strain or equivalent total strain is much smaller than the thermal strain in ANSYS, which means that they don't count thermal strain. I am not sure if it is so for thermal stress.
One more question,
Is thermal stress already considered in Ansys equivalent stress?
I checked the experimental results and Ansys results. The strain values are close. But for stress, I am not sure if it is included.
Hi,
I used Ansys Workbench to analyze the truss structure. The structure basically looks like the figure in following link.

The thermal strain is about 650 microstrain applying 50 degrees Fahrenheit change.
But for fatigue, I need the...
