hello,

my goal is to perform a static analysis on a 3 cylinder composite by applying an internal pressure on the inner cylinder to begin with. this would be to assemble the cylinders by bringing them in contact.
once this is done i would like to perform a fully coupled temp disp analysis where the cylinder in the middle would be the heat generating source and coolant through the inner and outer tubes.

my question is : if i perform a static analysis to begin with how can i input the stresses resulting from this analysis as an input to the coupled temp disp step.

thanks
