σxx=(1.2E-5°C-1)(2E11 Pa)(100° C)-(0.002m)(2E11 Pa)(5m)=160 MPa

A few words on the formatting on the following instructions:

1. Notes that require you to perform an action are colored in blue

2. General information will be colored in black, but do not require any action

3. Words that are bolded are labels for items found in ANSYS AIM

4. Most important notes will be colored in red

Start-Up

Now that we have the pre-calculations, we are ready begin simulating in ANSYS AIM. Open ANSYS AIM by going to Start > All Apps > ANSYS 18.1 > ANSYS AIM 18.1. Once you are at the starting page of AIM select the Thermal template in the top right corner as shown below.

You will be prompted by the Thermal Template to either Define new geometry, Import geometry file, or connect Connect to active CAD session. Select define new geometry and press Next. For this problem we will be using a Steady/static calculation type and adding structural as an additional physic, select them in the menu and press Finish. The Model Editor will launch automatically.

Go to Step 2: Geometry

Go to all (ANSYS or FLUENT) Learning Modules
