Bending component during a thermal cycle

Bending component during a thermal cycle

Bending component during a thermal cycle

(OP)
Hello,
I explain the situation, hoping that some of you experts help mesmile

I have a plate in Al material with under a resistance.
The graph of the temperature of the resistance is the one attached.

At the first peak, where T is a resistance of 240 ° C, we have a T plate of 340 ° C (center) while the sides of 170 ° C.

This large temperature difference creates the classic "banana effect" to the plate (contraction of the material). Once off the resistance, the plate is deformed 5mm. In practice, the sides rise of 5mm.

How can I simulate all in Ansys WB11?!?

I thought, to analyze thermal transient. Construct a tot. of phases with different temperatures (following chart), but how to simulate the deformation of the plate?!?

Thanks
