Stress and Thermal Creep in ANSYS Mechanical

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the lack of good examples for thermal creep in ANSYS Mechanical Workbench, particularly using Norton's model. The user has explored ANSYS support materials but found no specific guidance on thermal creep, which is impacting their analysis of temperature variations and creep strains in a pipe under internal pressure. They are seeking additional resources or expert contacts to assist with this issue. If no solutions are found, the user is considering switching to COMSOL, which offers more organized tutorials on thermal creep. The conversation highlights a gap in available resources for this specific application in ANSYS.

Just wish to know if there are GOOD EXAMPLES out there on the topics above. I am particularly looking for thermal creep using ANSYS Mechanical Workbench ... Thank you much.

Have you looked in the ANSYS help materials? What material model do you plan to use?
 
Thanks a lot.

Yes, I have looked at the ANSYS support! They DO NOT give any example for the Thermal Creep in particular. That seems to be something holding me back. I am using Norton's model, the basic one with C1, C2 and C3 constants that I have computed/extracted/searched for. Things look fine with the response of the pipe under an internal pressure! But the issue is the temperature variation and its affect on the creep strains in ANSYS Mechanical.

If you know of any other place to look for OR any expert to talk to OR write to, that will be truly appreciated. Otherwise I will switch to COMSOL as it seems to have a pretty organized tutorial set for ALL topics and I did find a good one for Thermal Creep!

Thank you and have a great day.
 
Sorry to say I don't have any experience in the topic, I did a quick search in the ANSYS customer portal but didn't find anything specific to the topic you're interested in. If you've got a tutorial to follow in Comsol and you have access to the software, sounds like that's the path to go.
 
Thank you much for your care and time. Appreciate it. Take care.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
