  How can you apply both thermal and structural load at the same time for the same model . The model could be a cylinder

  If you just want to raise the temperature of the whole cylinder so that it can have thermal expansion against mechanical supports, like a shrink fit, you can do that right in Static Structural by adding a Thermal Condition, and enter the new temperature. The starting temperature is set in the Environment Temperature.
  
  If you want a complicated thermal analysis that results in a temperature distribution over the part, you use two systems, and link the solution from the Steady State Thermal model as a load on the Static Structural model. In this example, they share the same mesh.

  I developed a model with thermal and static structural analysis. Its a beam having axial and rotation restraints. The restraints were provided using spring elements. How can i get the axial force v/s temperature curve of the beam.
