Dear all,

In order to understand, the Equivalent stress values, I have reduced my model with just 3 parts.

It has a heating pipe, to which electricty is supplied and it is heated. The heating pipe is surrounded by insulator. The heating pipe is heated to 850 °C.

Now I want to do the structural analysis, the bottom of the heating pipe is given an external displacement (all the values are zero). The deformation I got is around 4.5 mm and the Equivalent Von mises stress is over 100Mpa.

I just want to understand, why this is hapennig? Is it because of the material properties? or is it because of the boundary conditions?

It is a very simple geomentry, and I wish to get the Equivalent stress well below 3.4Mpa which is given in the material data sheet.

Thank you

nnThe high stress appears to be becaue of thermal condition applied.nnRegards,nAshish Khemkan
