Help: Thermal Stress Analysis

Vinicius_Petrucci

Good morning, I am performing a thermal stress analysis on a glass window that is subject to shading throughout the day. For this, the initial analysis is transient.

Despite the long period, this analysis works well.

The problem is that the next step is to select a specific point in the simulation steps and transfer the thermal loads to a static simulation with the voltage output.

And whenever I try to do this, the software understands that the number of nodes in the model is different from the solution and does not provide any clue as to how I can transfer the loads and solve the problem.

I don't quite understand. Do you want to transfer temperature from the solution to use for thermal stress? Is it piezoelectric for voltage output? Or temperature dependent electrical properties?

The file you sent has the same number of nodes in the solution for "Configuration" as the model and Transfer temperatures from solution works OK. However, "Configuration(2)" has no solution so it doesn't.

Perhaps you're using Configuration for the thermal analysis and Configuration(2) for static. In that case, do the transfer in Configuration and it'll be present in Configuration(2) too. Configurations are only different from each other in which items are suppressed and they have their own solutions.
