Hi
dear @Peteroznewman I would be so grateful if you could help me
Imagine that you have a bent shaft that is straightened and now you want to monut a diak by shrink fit on it. to do so you need to first bend the shaft and obtain residual stress, then you should apply this stress on a straight shaft in the second analysis. ok? I dont wanna compound two stresses, If I wanted to do so the job was so straightforward and could be done in 2 load steps. In fact I want to model shrink fit in a shaft cut from a prestressed metal.therefore I need to export my undeformed shaft that has no strain meanwhile carry residual stress with it. but When I map my residual stress to the second analysis the solve button gets active.
any help will be appreciated.
