Thermal Expansion
Apply mechanical expansion from temperature changes.
Apply mechanical expansion from temperature changes.
Where to find it
Physics → Multiphysics → Thermal Expansion
How to use it
Add the participating physics first, choose the intended source and target, and inspect any required selections and reference values.
Settings and initial values
| Setting | Initial value |
|---|---|
| Thermal expansion coefficient | 0[1/K] |
| Reference temperature | 293.15[K] |
| Thermal expansion vector | [] |
Result
The next compatible coupled study includes the interaction.
Troubleshooting
Check compatibility of the study, units and entity sets on both sides; adding two physics interfaces alone does not create this coupling.
