Combine a sol106 static solution with a static thermal subcase.

I have flexure that I am using a solution 106 to deflect part of the flexure with an SPCD in steps up to full pre-load. From this pre-loaded state, I would like to add a thermal soak on the pre-loaded flexure from this last load step. There are four thermal cases I wanted to consider to combine with the last static load step, if that is possible.

Hi Derek,

Solution setup would be as follows. SUBCASE 2 starts from where SUBCASE 1 ended. And only additional loading that is in subcase 2 is applied. In the case below LOAD=1 was fully applied in subcase 1 and needs to be carried thru in subcase 2 so total mechanical loading in subcase 2 will be the same as subcase 1. It does not apply additional loading in subcase 2. If you remove the load entry in second subcase it has effect of unloading the mechanical loading in the structure.

SOL 106

CEND

TEMP(INIT)=100

SUBCASE 1

LOAD=1

SUBCASE 2

LOAD=1

TEMP(LOAD)=10

SUBCASE 3

LOAD=1

TEMP(LOAD)=20

SUBCASE 4

LOAD=1

TEMP(LOAD)=40
