In previous versions of Creo Ansys Simulation, multi-physics studies, such as combining structural and thermal analyses, were not supported. With this enhancement, you can now simulate thermal expansion by integrating structural and thermal physics into a single study.
To define a combined or multi-physics study:
- Begin by setting up a primary structural or thermal study.
- Navigate to the Setup tab, and select the Include Thermal or Include Structural checkbox, depending on the additional physics you want to include. This allows you to define secondary physics directly from the ribbon interface.
If you need to revert to the original physics, simply clear the Include Thermal or Include Structural checkbox. Note that this feature supports only steady-state thermal studies for multi-physics simulations.
The following illustration demonstrates thermal expansion in a model where the primary study is structural.
Creo Parametric 10.0.0.0
User Interface Location:
•For a primary structural study, click Setup > Include Thermal
•For a primary thermal study, click Setup > Include Structural
Benefits
This enhancement provides high-fidelity support for multi-physics simulations, enabling you to:
- Analyze thermal expansion in structural models.
- Calculate thermal stresses effectively, delivering more accurate and insightful results for real-world scenarios.
Additional Information
