If you mean you want to apply a temperature condition for material properties but not include the thermal expansion effects, you can use the command THEXPAND,OFF. I don't know if it's available in Workbench, so you might need a command snippet. Joseph T Metrisin Structures Lead Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc 1701 Military Tr.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Folks, I'm using Mechanical for a static structural analysis that has no thermal loads applied to the ANSYS model. But in Engineering Data, I have defined material properties that span an entire temperature range. Is there a way to tell Mechanical to use material properties only at a certain temperature? In other words, suppose I define material properties in Engineering Data, spanning 0°F through 500°F, and my model does not have any thermal loads actually modeled upon it. Is there a way to tell Mechanical to use the material properties only at 400°F? (i.e., I want it to pull Young's and Poisson's only at 400°F) Matt Ridzon, PE, MSME Sr. Engineering Analyst Email matt@prime-engineer.com<mailto:matt@prime-engineer.com> Mail 266 Main St, Burlington, VT 05401 Web https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.prime-engineer.com__;!!KM6X6ZXWXVtZMQ !b6GxGYEfPA_f-g3XkiXOb2Oet4shoYCFZ2Tw--baKbzUN0cPH1qiWkgpjjmPdnHPUYf01l8cxDb ooOWyTP9tH_pZcw$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.prime-engineer.com/__;!!KM6X6ZXWXVtZ MQ!b6GxGYEfPA_f-g3XkiXOb2Oet4shoYCFZ2Tw--baKbzUN0cPH1qiWkgpjjmPdnHPUYf01l8cx DbooOWyTP-gv2mNfA$ > [A blue hexagon with white letters Description automatically generated] PRIME ENGINEERING LLC This message (including any attachments) may contain confidential, proprietary, privileged and/or private information.
