A linear static analysis is performed for the thermal model using the homogeneous and layered options. The initial temperature is specified as 22 °C and the analysis settings are shown below.
This is followed by a linear static analysis for the structural model using the homogeneous and layered options (4 different analyses). Temperatures are transferred from the thermal analysis to the structural analysis via the Imported Load object. Details of the analysis settings and imported temperature from the thermal analysis are shown below.
