Reply To: Steady-State Thermal in case of Layered Sections

[Girolamo Tagliapietra]

Dear All, thank you very much for your suggestions, I'm about to make another attempt although I'm afraid that using solids instead of layered sections could be troblesome because of the elaborated geometry itself. I already tried to use solids, and if the steady thermal analysis is straightforward, the static structural analysis including the thermal load and the residual stress (imposed by INITSTATE command) led to unrealistic results (e.g. abnormal deformations)....
