As shown in Figure 1, the pipe is fixed on the ground at one end and
the heat flux is applied on the other end.
A linear steady-state heat conduction solution is defined first. Then it is referred
by a structure solution by TEMP to perform the coupled
thermal/structural analysis. The problem is defined in HyperMesh and solved with OptiStruct implicit solver. The heat transfer and structure
results are post processed in HyperView. Figure 1. Model Review
