I&#039;ve done the Fluent into Static Structural for the thermal expansion, but I&#039;m so far unable to bring the deformations back into Fluent. A slight complicating factor is that a solid should thermally expand into a fluid region, but as far as I know, that fluid region needs to be deleted in static structural, but I&#039;d need to bring it back for the second Fluent analysis. Let me know if this would be possible and what connections\/importing\/exporting I would need to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-169112","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["792"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["237097","158889"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["169112"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["20093","158889"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["236933"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["236933"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-10-03 20:19:18"]},"test":"mhigley"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/169112","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\/169112\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
