Comsol Mechanical Thermal Contact

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around troubleshooting a thermal mechanical contact problem in COMSOL. The user is experiencing errors after computing their model, particularly related to the mechanical contact at the middle part of the structure. They note that the contact worked before adding this part but encountered issues with boundary forces. Despite attempts to fix the middle part, the problem persists, and the user needs it to remain unfixed. Further clarification and diagrams are requested to better understand the issue.

hi,
can somebody pls help me with the model i have appended to this post?
it is a simple thermal mechanical contact problem but i don't know what is wrong about it and why there is some errors in it after computing.
thanks

Will you explain what do you have to do with the model?
Could you provide some diagram or something where you got the problem from?

As far as I can see you're trying to compute a multiphysics problem here. I can see you are trying to create a temperature difference and then there's also a continuous force load on one of the edges and there are three fixed constraints.

Would you explain further or post a problem statement with the corresponding diagrams.
 
Hi gezibash,
My main problem is about the mechanical contact. it is very problematic on COMSOL.
Here, the middle part has caused the problem. Before adding this part, the contact works (however with a low boundary force).

even fixing the middle part does not solve the problem. (however i need to make it unfixed).thanks

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
