how to add new material

how to add new material

(OP)
I want to add a new isotropic material. I know how to do it, but the problem is the thermal expansion coefficient should follow a parabolic trend, y=x2. I'm not able to figure it out. I'm using NX10.

Chapman

RE: how to add new material

Hi,

In the thermal expansion coefficient box, click on the equal symbol > New Field > Table


Next, define the CTE table value with respect to temperature.

Hey Tuw,

1.That was really helpful. Thanks.
2.Do you know how to upload structural, as a precursor for another analysis (in my case thermal analysis). I'm attaching a picture of my deformed structure. Now I want to cool this sample from this deformed state. I can do this in NX thermal, but I'm not sure how to upload the output files of this deformed state.

RE: how to add new material

Hi Chaman,

Do you mean you would like to reuse a deformed mesh from an initial structural analysis?

This is off topic to this thread. Please create another thread so that it would benefit more forumers..

Thanks,
Tuw

Dear Tuw,

I already did that.

Thanks for the advice.

Chaman
