In this example, the deformation of a console rod element connected with a built-in support at one end under temperature loading and the internal force value of a rod element with a fixed support at one end and a fixed support at the other end is calculated.
ideCAD Structural takes into account the loading situation caused by two different temperature changes and these temperature changes are considered separately.
Loading Model | Compared size | ideCAD Static | Manual solution | Percentage of error |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Model 1 - T1 | UZ (in) | 0.0013 | 0.0013 | 0% |
Model 1 - T2 | UZ (in) | 0.0026 | 0.0026 | 0% |
Model 2 - T1 | Axial pressure (mode) | 22.62 | 22.62 | 0% |
Model 2 - T2 | Axial pressure (mode) | 45.26 | 45.26 | 0% |
Geometric Properties and System Description
...
Two different temperature differences were created for the loading condition, T1 = 20 o C and T2 = 40 o C. The reduction factor will not be used for temperature loads.
...
The displacement value at the node when temperature loading is applied in Model 1;
