Temperature dependent mechanical properties

gemada

Hi,
Is there a way to input temperature dependent mechanical properties in static analisys?
Thanks

JohnM

use ccx, custom model definition.
define minimum properties in Mecway; there are some missing "don't generate" commands, for example you can't "don't generate" *EXPANSION, so only define these in the CCX custom file
see example

Thank you JohnM for your help! The "don't generate" comands are needed or I just need to use "custom model definition"?

JohnM

The "don't generate" commands suppress any material commands you have already defined in mecway, since you will be redefining in custom model input. So define the bare minimum just so that mecway doesn't complain, then suppress whatever you have created.

Thanks a lot JohnM. I'll give it a try!
