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.
Could I use the final pre-load subcase as the start point for several thermal load cases? Starting from the nominal pre-load, I might consider a cold, hot and a survival case for different delta-T from room temperature.
