Hi all,
I'm trying to do a thermoelastic analysis in abaqus. This means that for instance, I want the temperature in a solid to increase as a result of applied stress.
I've been using the "Dynamic, Temp-disp, Explicit" step to no avail. I don't know whether that is the right step for my...
Thank you mustaine3 for your prompt response.
I have already merged my parts and now have a single orphaned mesh (as shown in the question image).
Let's say in the triangular truss below, I want no temperature change in elements 1 & 2 but a constant temperature change of T for element 3:
Then...
Greetings everyone,
I'm trying to solve a simple truss problem as can be seen in the following picture:
This is an orphan mesh. Vertical loads are applied at nodes 3 & 5 and also there is a temperature difference of 5 degrees on member 1 (the temperature of the member is increased 5 degrees)...
