WS16-3 NAS104, Workshop 16, March 2004 Copyright 2004 MSC.Software Corporation n Problem Description For this example perform a thermal stress analysis of a bi-metallic strip made of Ge and solder. The dimensions(length x width) of the bi-metallic strip are one inch by one inch. The thickness for the solder material is 0.05 inch, and the thickness of the Ge material is inch. Thus the assembly thickness is inch. The outside(away from the solder/Ge interface) surface temperature of the solder is 70 C. The outside surface temperature of the Ge is –30 C. The thermal model is to consist of two hex8 meshes connected together, together with thermal properties and constant temperature boundary conditions. The temperature distribution is to be obtained by running a steady-state thermal analysis. Use the thermal results as loading for a stress analysis. Pior to the development of the MSC.Patran/MSC.Nastran heat transfer interface to use the thermal results for a stress analysis it was necessary to specify TEMP(PUNCH)=all in the MSC.Nastran Case Control section for the thermal run. This caused the thermal analysis temperature results to be saved in the punch file. In the subsequent stress analysis the punch file was accessed by specifying TEMP(LOAD)=1 in the Case Control section. However, now MSC.Patran supports MSC.Nastran heat transfer analysis. Because of this it is possible to create a field based on the thermal results. The field can be used for the creation of a temperature load for a stress analysis. In order to have non-zero stresses for the stress analysis it will be necessary to have enough displacement constraints to eliminate rigid body motion. Once the thermal base field is created, a stress/structural model is to be created using the hex8 meshes that were used for the thermal analysis. Also, it will be necessary to create structural materials.
