Temperature loading on structural shell elements

Temperature loading on structural shell elements

Temperature loading on structural shell elements

(OP)
Hello!


I would like to model the amount of thermal residual stress in a multilayered shell element due to changes in processing temperature. I've looked around and found several options, most of which come close to what I'm looking for but not quite (e.g. SHELL163 supports temperature v time profile but not multilayers). I'm currently working with SHELL281 and noticed that you can load temperatures at the corner nodes- is it possible to specify an initial and final state and then extract the stress state from any of the available elements in ANSYS v14.0?


Thanks!

RE: Temperature loading on structural shell elements

Consider exploring the *get command to extract values at nodes/elements , http://www1.ansys.com/customer/content/documentati... , page 10

I'm not sure what you mean by 'specify initial and final state' but if you are looking to define temperature values at certain elements or nodes I would explore the NTEMP parameter, page 21 of the same link.

I hope this is of some help to you.
