Description
Multi-physics studies were not supported earlier in Creo Ansys Simulation.This enhancement enables you to simulate thermal expansion by combining structural and thermal physics.
To define a combined or multi-physics study, first define a primary structural or thermal study. Then click 
next to Setup and select the Include Thermal or Include Structural check box which enables you to define additional physics from the ribbon.
next to Setup and select the Include Thermal or Include Structural check box which enables you to define additional physics from the ribbon.
You can clear the Include Thermal or Include Structural check box to return to the primary physics. Only steady-state thermal study is available for a multi-physics study.
The following figure shows thermal expansion in a model that is a primary structural study.
Benefits
This enhancement provides high-fidelity support for multi-physics. You can study thermal expansion and calculate thermal stresses for a primary structural study.
