I am wanting to investigate the effects of thermal mechanical fatigue. Right now i have run a simple steady state CFX to find the temperature distribution across the blade surface due to a hot gas inlet condition. What i would like to do now is run a simulation of the start up of the gas turbine, and couple the resultant mechanical loads with the thermal loads found using the CFX solver. This should hopefully replicate a simplified simulation of the start up sequence for gas turbines which largely contributes to blade failure. <\/p>\n<p>My question is what would be the best solver to use in order to simulate and obtain the mechanical loads due to the start up of the gas turbine ? Right now im thinking along the lines of transient structural, but im really not certain as im relatively new to these types of analyses.<\/p>\n<p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-167129","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-cfx","topic-tag-transient-dynamics","topic-tag-transient-structural"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["549"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["250484"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["167129"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["68667","250484"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["207799"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["207799"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-03-24 04:01:30"]},"test":"joshua-pretorius123gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/167129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/167129\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
