The R2025x FD01 user assistance includes a new 3DEXPERIENCE example that teaches you how to perform a structural analysis based on thermal expansion. In this example, a pipe segment whose end locations are fixed by attachment to other components in the system is subjected to a temperature change and we locate and evaluate the maximum and minimum stress locations.
The simulation uses the following apps:
- Linear Structural Scenario Creation
- Physics Results Explorer
- Structural Model Creation
- SOLIDWORKS Connected (required only if you choose to import SOLIDWORKS geometry)
To try this example for yourself, see Thermal Expansion Stress on a Pipe Segment.
Thanks to @KS, @RP, and @MS for their efforts in developing and reviewing this example!
