Static Stress simulation with two different temperatures?

[jsteffle]

Hi all,

I'm looking into performing a static stress simulation of a device and would like to see the stresses of the device at a different temperature than room. In Inventor I know this is accomplished by doing a static simulation with two body temperatures (one at room and the other at the stress temp).  Does anyone know if there a similar way to accomplish this in Fusion 360? 

Thanks in advance,

Joe

I should probably clarify. In Inventor the two temperatures were considered body temperatures where the entire assembly was subjected to the same temperature. In Fusion however, I'm not able to find anywhere to enter this type of information? Do I need to do a different type of simulation to obtain results for this?

To give a simple example. A ceramic plate is suspended into the middle of a box of epoxy. It has cured. I would like to understand the stresses on the ceramic box when the entire thing is heated to 200C, and then cooled to -55C. As I mentioned previously I did this inventor very easily with just two load body temperatures. I don't see how this same thing can be done in Fusion though. Any help is appreciated.

Are you referring to Inventor or are you referring to Inventor Nastran as the product that you previously used for this analysis?

Hi,

I'm referring to the Inventor Nastran environment. I was hoping that the same thing could be implemented in Fusion 360 but I don't see any options for body or environment temperature for loads under a linear static simulation like there is in Inventor Nastran.
