How to input the time period to get the results of 1-year.. etc
(OP)
Hello all,
I want to run my model through coupled temperature-displacement analysis to check the results of 1-year, 2-years and so on. Can anyone guide me how I may set the time increment in the step to get the said results.
Thanks in advance.

I'm no Civil Engineer though, there may well be a way to do this, maybe some implicit method?

@Mustaine3, Thanks for your comment. Actually I am running a thermo-mechanical coupled model and wanted to examine the results of 1-year... More clearly, a heater rod is inserted at some depth in the rock. The heater maintains it temperature at 100°C for the whole analysis period. As soon as time passes, the surrounding rocks of the heater will be heated up and the stresses in that location will be changed due to expansion of the rock. I need to calculate the stresses and temperature at designated point around the heater for 1-year, 2-years and onward..

If you are using the explicit solver then it would be quicker to run the actual experiment than the computer model.

Clearly, running the time domain problem in 'physical' time is not practical. In all likelihood, you'd want to run the problem in 'simulated' time OR the frequency domain. Either way, damage as a function of 'simulated' time or frequency must show up in the material law.
