thermal stress analysis
thermal stress analysis
(OP)
Hi,
I want to evaluate the thermal stresses of a steel tube, which
has a varying heatflux over the circumference. The tube is very long, so I want to simulate only a section. The problem are the boundary conditions. When I use symmetrie at the edges the thermal expansion will cause constraints, which aren't realistic. The displacement in the longitudinal direction is free, but has to be equal at the edges. I don't know how to achieve this...
thanks for helping

So there is no need for symmetry and the edges can displace in
z-direction.
