Hi,

Can you clarify for the following.

I wanted to split the calculation into two as it is a big system. So that i have noted down the displacement in thermal and sustain condition at the seperation point(from the combined calculation).The stresses are with in the allowable in both the SUS and EXP condition.

Then I inputed the displacement(for both sustain and thermal case) for one of the splited calculation ( I mean that displacenment given at the point of seperation)..But the stress is failing in sustain case

For clarity I am giving below the load case below

1. W+P+T1+D1 OPE
2. W+P+D2 SUS

(D1 - Displacement taken from the combined system for the thermal case)
(D2 - Displacement taken from the combined system for the sustained case)


Can anyone explain me whether displacement(D2) can be given for sustain conditon?if I don't give, system is safe.I hope that this is understand to you all.IF any additoned information is required, I will send the same

regards

Sha..
