Reply To: Unable to see imported body temperature in structural transient solution

[Bhargava Sista]

Tom,

If you're running the thermal analysis in a separate system and then importing the temperatures into a structural system, then SOLID227 are not relevant for your case. In structural analysis, you can apply imported temperatures using BF or BFE commands. Perhaps, sharing your APLD snippet might be helpful in debugging.

Also, you may already know this but when you issue EKILL on some elements, it doesn't delete them but rather reduce their stiffness by a factor of 1e-6. Just letting you know so you can calibrate your expectations when you simulate the "material removal".
