ANSYS Thermo-Structural Analysis: Warping Plate Tutorial

Learn how to perform a thermo-structural analysis in ANSYS by linking steady-state thermal and static structural modules to analyze plate warping due to thermal loading. Begin by examining the problem's geometry, boundary conditions, and key variables. Navigate through Workbench to build the analysis, utilizing SpaceClaim for simple geometry creation and applying body sizings for effective meshing. Master the process of initializing the simulation with thermal loads, focusing on thermal conduction. Discover techniques for importing thermal results as loads in static structural analysis. Gain proficiency in viewing stress and deformation contours. The tutorial covers linking multiple analysis systems, geometry building, meshing, thermal load application, result importation, and visualization of stress and deformation, providing a comprehensive guide to thermo-structural analysis in ANSYS.
