The results of Example 13 of fluid-thermal analysis are imported for the thermal-stress analysis of the tube.
The deformation and the stress are solved from the temperature distribution of heat medium flowing in the tube.
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.
To import the results of fluid analysis, set Result as an import type, Fluid as an import model, and Automatic as an import mode on the result import tab.
By setting Automatic as an import mode, the results of the steady-state analysis of the fluid-thermal solver are imported.
