I have a cantilevered pipe-like structure modeled with shell elements and it is subjected to a seismic load using an implicit dynamic step. I have applied the acceleration to the bottom of the pipe using a boundary condition. In order to produce movement, I have released the transitional BC in...
I am performing a sequentially coupled thermal stress analysis on a concrete slab. I have the heat transfer portion done and am experiencing some convergence difficulties with the stress analysis portion. My question is, should I use a static or dynamic step when reading the heat transfer into...
