I want do to a topology optmization to minimize warpage on a surface when there is a thermal load. is this possible?

I have made a steady-state thermal analysis, added a heat flow as temperature input. I also made a static-structutal anaylis with imported body temperature load. This analysis calculates the strain.

now when i add a structural optmization i get the following error:

"Structural Optimization does not support linked Static structural analysis which consists of temperature dependent material along with thermal loads."

Is there a way to get this done?

Hi,

What if you apply a thermal condition boundary condition in static structural analysis and copy and paste the data into the thermal boundary condition?

Dear Ashish,

With this thermal condition i get the same error: "Structural Optimization does not support linked Static structural analysis which consists of temperature dependent material along with thermal loads."

I even removed the thermal analysis and removed every link.
