Re: Joule effect of electric current with Creo Simulate Thermal
Hi Tommaso, I admit that my idea was only half-formed! As you say, it would be a way to visualise (in the first step at least) only the current distribution - but perhaps you may find that the current...

Re: Joule effect of electric current with Creo Simulate Thermal
Hi, It is heat per unit volume heat load. Try this for the material properties: Young's mod, Poisson's ratio, and thermal cond can all be made a function of temperature for either steady state or...

Unfortunately, one can only assign temperature dependent properties for steady state analysis not transient analysis,

Hi Jonathan, yes in fact at the end I had found that the resistance does not vary significantly (for our purposes) with the temperature, the coefficent of increase of Ohm is reported as 3,8*10^-3...

Hi Charles, yes I was meaning the heat load indeed. Thanks for your other suggestion. strange that heat cap cannot, anyway. bye bye

I started a mesh with either too small of element or too restrictive element angle settings. It is taking forever (already over 70 minutes) Is there a way of stopping this in creo without an "end...

You can end msengine.exe and it will end the simulation but not kill Creo. msengine.exe has nothing to do with Microsoft. It is the Mechanica Solver (Simulate).

Chris: I am sorry but I really do not think you actually ever read my questions before answering them. I am not running a simulation, I am meshing. The correct answer to my question it to click on...

Multistep Analysis?
Hello, I recently did an MEC/T Load on a rectangular plate to see the thermal stress distribution in that plate. For this case, I’m looking at the thermal stress distribution as the residual...

Re: Multistep Analysis?
Sorry, I just re-read your question. I think you just need to apply an external force that is in the same load set and this will get you want you need.

Structural results evaluation: deformed display scaling percentage meaning
Hallo, anyone could be able to explain what is the mathematical law which stands behind the Scaling option and its percentage value ? for example: 10 % means that deformed displacement values are...

Re: Structural results evaluation: deformed display scaling percentage meaning
You can do your own testing, but I just ran a study on a 1x1x.25 thick part. I fixed one end and I added an applied displacement (.25) to the other end. Looking at a side view it appeared that 25%...

Hi Agnes, Unfortunately I don't have the Simulate Advanced License, but I have found that I can create a nonlinear/use load histories static study if I put a pin in the plate, and define a contact...

Re: Structural results evaluation: deformed display scaling percentage meaning
Hi, The scaling 10% is the default for a study without contact. The largest displacement in the model is scaled to be 10% of the 'model size'. All other displacements are scaled accordingly For...

Re: Can one controlling element growth after specifying surface element size
Creo Simulate is based on the p-version of the finite element method, in which the fidelity of the finite element model is increased by raising the polynomial orders of the finite element basis...
