ANSYS Coupled field analysis

ANSYS Coupled field analysis

ANSYS Coupled field analysis

(OP)
Hi All,

I am doing a coupled field analysis(Structural-Thermal) in ANSYS 11.I face certain problems.I request your suggestions regarding the same.

Error Message obtained while running an analysis:

The Error message I got said ''equivalent plastic strain increment has exceeded the specified limit value.Since the time increment has reached the minimum value,the analysis is stopped''.

Problems faced:Result obtained not correct.

Thermal Load data is applied cyclic,I mean 2 secs of Temperature load and 300 secs of cooling applied through second input file.So Stress should increase when model is in cooling cycle.But in my model,stress doesn't vary,it never decreases at any time.do not know why.Please give me some hints why does stress value never drops down in this analysis?

The 3 materials used are Material 1 corresponds to Ceramic,second material to solder and 3 material to steel part.

INPUT FILE:
