ANSYS linearized stress
ANSYS linearized stress
(OP)
Hello,
I'm new to ANSYS and want to check something that is proably obvious to others.
I'm performing an analysis that has pressure and heat loads. After it's solved I'll be plotting a path and to get the linearized stresses. The question I've got regards ANSYS interpretation of the thermal stress. Does ANSYS know/assume this is a secondary stress and exclude it from the linearized primary stresses? Or do I have to do two runs, one with the thermal load and one without it?
Thanks

RE: ANSYS linearized stress
I will also note that the default linearization in ANSYS is not compliant with 5-A.4.1.2, Step 2(a) in ASME Section VIII, Division 2, Part 5 (2013).
