6. D modeling#

6.1. Simulation 1#

This is a thermomechanical test with zero imposed deformation along axis \(x\). The test is performed on a hardware point with the SIMU_POINT_MAT command. The temperature varies from \({T}_{0}=20°C\) to \({T}_{\mathrm{max}}=500°C\). The transition consists of NCAL steps. The reference temperature is \({T}_{\mathrm{Ref}}=20°C\)

6.2. Simulation 2#

It’s about looping on NCALcalculs mechanics. For each calculation \(i\), the imposed load consists of the thermal deformation \({\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{xx}}=-{\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{th}}=-\alpha (T)({T}_{i}-{T}_{\mathrm{Ref}})\). The initial load consists of the deformations, stresses and internal variables from the previous mechanical calculation.

6.3. Behavioral law and material parameters#

The law of behavior tested is” ELAS_VMIS_TRAC “, documented in the documentation [R7.02.03].

It is a « non-linear » law of elastic behavior (law of HENCKY), from VON MISES to non-linear isotropic work hardening.

The elastic parameters are as follows:

\(E(T)\), \(\nu (T)\), \(\alpha (T)\), \(\sigma (\varepsilon ,T)\)

6.4. Tested sizes and results#

Validation is carried out by comparing the fields calculated at each step of the transient on the one hand and the result of a mechanical calculation on the other hand.

The command used is TEST_TABLE which tests the reference value against the calculated value.

The reference value being the field component extracted at a given time \(i\) from the first thermomechanical simulation performed over NCAL times. The calculated value is the one obtained at the end of the mechanical calculation \(i+1\) of the loop on the NCAL.
