Thermal Structural analysis

      In a thermal-structural analysis simulation involving both transient thermal and static structural analysis, I need to proceed in two steps. In the first step, I want to apply only the preload of the bolt. In the second step, I intend to apply both temperature and pressure. How should I configure the simulation to achieve this?

      Additionally, I am unclear about the terms "source time" and "analysis time" when importing body temperature. If I want to apply temperature at a specific step, what settings or steps should I follow to ensure the temperature is correctly applied during that particular step?

      Hi, You can try using the coupled field analysis. Please check out the below video in which they have shown the use of coupled field analysis.
