Assembled Temperature

[Antonio Gutiérrez González]

Hello,

I want to evaluate the stress and temperature distribution in an assembly where there are several elements. The boundary conditions are structural support and the temperature of one of the bodies, as can be seen in the example image.

Once I enter the temperature input in one of the bodies, the thermometer appears in each of the materials ("Assembled temperature"). What does this refer to? Does it have any influence?

Best,

Antonio

Hey Antonio,

Yes the temperature next to the material signifies the initial temperature of the body unless an applied load.
