Reading temperatures
Reading temperatures
(OP)
Hi
Please help if possible
1) For doing a coupled temp-displacement analysis,
Is it convinient to do a single coupled temp-disp analysis OR convinient by reading it from previous analysis?
2) How to save temperatures in order to read them in second analysis.
3) If reading so, Shall we have to give Step1 increment1 in the predefined field?
thanks in advance
Regards

2) I tend to safe the temperatures in a .fil file though you can simply read them from the .odb file these days. Old habits die hard. Use the *Node file card to save them in the .fil file, and use *temperature, file=... to read them back in the *static analysis.
3) In the manual it says to use the options bstep, and binc for the time that the temparetures are read from (optional), and estep, einc, for the time that theu're read to. The other option to use is 'interpolate' for dissimilar meshes.

that means I have to stick with "general static" step and then start reading temperatures. Thanks again for your answer.

General Static step will give the same results as coupled temp-displacement step would if there is nothing to caculate gap conductances.
Can I expect the same displacements from Static General analysis as I would from cou;ed temp-displacement analysis. Sorry if its repeated.
