How to use TSTRU in Sol 400 analysis

I want to define a temperature set for structure analysis based on a heat transfer. According to Quick reference guide in 2017, TSTRU can use in sol SOL101, SOL106 and SOL153. Can I use TSTRU case in SOL400 ?

If TSTRU can use, what parameter should I define such as PARAM, subcase and load collectors ?

Hello,

TSTRU can be used in Sol400.

TSTRU entry in the case control section of HSTAT step to is required to obtain the temperature distribution from heat transfer analysis and later can be used to apply it as load to the Structural run.

I have attached one sample from Nastran Demo manual chapter 46.

That sample file is now found in the Implicit Nonlinear (SOL 400) Demonstration Problems Manual, Chapter 27. You can download the user guide here:

Thank you for your quick replies. I tried to run with above file and open the result file(OP2) with Patran and other post-prossesing. But value of displacements couldn’t see although the displacements are written in f06 file. I already tried to make a xdb file changing PARAM, POST, but it wasn’t solved. What should I do?

XDB is not fully supported for SOL 400.

This file has been run using POST,+1, so when you attach the results to Patran you should use ATTACH OUTPUT2 rather than Read Output2.

When using the Implicit nonlinear Preference only the ATTACH Output2 option is displayed. Very likely you are using the Structural Preference and have used Read Output2.

Read Output2 is to be used with POST,-1.

Thank you for your great advice. I could see the result of displacement parameters.

thank you all !
