Hello dear community,

I am in the process of modeling a hollow steel column with a concrete core. This support is subjected to a constant temperature (predefines file). The aim is to see the heat development of the steel and concrete.

I modeled the hollow profile as a shell and the concrete core as a solid. I made contact via INteractions - Surface to surface. The temperature is applied via predefindes fild.

My problem is that it doesn't set the temperature that is on the hollow column through the interaction with the concrete.

Has anyone ever had this? Or can you give me tips on how to model it better?

Thanks very much :)
