Hi,
I performed contact analysis to simulate shrink fit and then defined 2nd load case for applying internal pressure. I want to know is it necessary to define two separate load cases? or I can do it in one load case. please note that the stress results are different by two methods. as far as it is not linear analysis (because of contact boundary condition) I think I should define 2 separate load cases. let me know your point of views.

Regards,

reza
