Analysis setup guidance please

Analysis setup guidance please

Analysis setup guidance please

(OP)

I am required to model two solid parts - This has been done in Ansa and they are ready to go.

I am then required to heat one section of the larger part and record the pressure and stress on the smaller part due to the thermal expansion.

I am totally new to thermal analysis and Abaqus.

I have had a few goes and manage to get the heat transfer through the larger part but it does not seem to transfer across the contact and I can't seem to output the stresses and pressure.

Basically I need pointing in the right direction please.

Many thanks if you can help

RE: Analysis setup guidance please

You could use a coupled temperature displacement model as you have contact conditions. Use Gap Conductivity and gap radiation so that conduction applies when the gap is zero and radiation applies when it's open.

Ok, that's a start

Thank you, I'll let you know how I get on...
