Beam Thermal Analysis
Beam Thermal Analysis
(OP)
Hi,
I would like to do a couple thermal-displacement analysis of a simple structure using a beam or a truss. Abaqus is complaining as reported in the image I am enclosing. Can anyone please help? Is it possibile to do a thermal analysis with surface heat flux loads using the B21 or T2D elements types?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

RE: Beam Thermal Analysis
There may be a problem with surface heat flux for a 1D element as there is no surface to apply the load. Instead you could apply a body heat flux equivalent to the surface heat flux multiplied by the surface area divided by the volume.
