Thermal stationary Analysis

Humberto

I am trying to do a thermal stationary analysis trough Salome Meca, the command (THER_LINEAIRE) is asking for ETAT_INIT and INCREMENT as concepts that have to be defined.

I don't understand, before I used to define the MODELE, CHAM_MATER and EXCIT to get a stationary result

If I click check TYPE_CALCUL and set as STAT, then ETAT_INIT goes away but is still asking for INCREMENT

Did something change? amI doing something wrong?

THER_LINEAIRE and THER_NON_LINE have been rewritten and syntax has changed.

For a stationary simulation you do not need a initial state (like MECA_STATIQUE) but you can compute your result for different times (like MECA_STATIQUE)

nicolas_p What sense does it make to calculate a stationary solution for more than one instant?

I ended up with a list of two instants, but seems overkill to waste hard drive space writing the Temp field twice!!!
