Transient Thermal Stress Analysis
Using a Design Study, you can automate the procedure to calculate static
results based on selected temperature profiles from a transient thermal
study.
To automate transient thermal stress analysis:
Define and run a transient thermal study.
Create a static study and modify its properties
to activate thermal loading using temperature from the transient thermal
study.
Right-click the static study tab and select Create New Design Study.
On the Design Study tab, in the Variables
section, define a new parameter with
any name, for example Steps.
Link the time step value to the parameter:
Right-click the static study name and select
Properties.
On the Flow/Thermal
Effects tab of the Static
dialog box, right-click the Time step
box and select Link Values.
In the Parameters
dialog box, select the Steps parameter
and click OK.
Click OK.
On the Design Study tab, clear the Optimization
check box and define up to 10,000 steps for the Steps
parameter.
You can select up to 25 locations for saving
summary results.
Run the Evaluation Design Study.
The Results View tab of a Design Study list
the results of different scenarios. You can plot the results on the body
by selecting different sensors on the left frame of the Design Study tab.
You can also plot different graphs depending
on the quality of the study.
