Problem with running transient structural analysis with weld

[Funke Dacosta-Salu]

I am currently experiencing a problem while performing a transient structural analysis. I have included sold weld and temperature dependent material properties. However, my results are not as expected. I am getting compressive stresses at locations where I should be getting tensile stress. Is there something I need to check or do differntly?

Upload some images of your structure and label the supports, loads and show where the compressive stress shows up. You might get some suggestions from the forum.
