Thermal stress and hiding elements

Thermal stress and hiding elements

Thermal stress and hiding elements

(OP)
Hi, I am a new femap user and passed several examples from the tutorial but still have some questions:

- how can I hide some elements? For example I have a fem model of a valve, the results are loaded but I want to do a cross-section to see what is inside.... is there at all a possibility to hide particular elements?

- what do I wrong in this model setup?
I wanted to analyze a cylinder with inner and outer radius and lenght. At the outer surface there is 500 deg F, inner surface 300F, both roll stands are fixed. I perform the thermal analysis and obtain quite nice temperature field, then I map the temperature as nodal load for static analysis and during the calculation the model failes.... I have absolutely no idea what's wrong

thank you!

RE: Thermal stress and hiding elements

Hi

Try by making a group including the elements you want to be visible. Then when you view that group the other elements will be "hidden".

There are several other methods, you can use layers or work with different properties and make them visible or "hidden" or ............

Good Luck

Thomas
