Hello! I am pretty new to Ansys and I’m trying to do a structural analysis of a two part assembly under thermal stress. However, the resulting displacement after a transient thermal analysis and a static structural analysis is REALLY LARGE, and I can’t seem to figure out why this is happening. <\/p>\n
The assembly is two parts, with one being made of very thin nickel and the other being made of stainless steel, and I had to modify both materials in Engineering data so that they had the proper elasticity and CTE. I have attatched pictures of the assembly with and without the deformation showing, as well as pictures of some other details. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thank you for your help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-461760","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-simulation"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_topic_id":["461760"],"_bbp_subscription":["707812"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["0"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["461760"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-07-23 17:19:56"],"_bbp_reply_count":["0"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_engagement":["1"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["19"],"application":["Mechanical"],"emailnotification":[null],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"wellin42msu-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/461760","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\/461760\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
