Dear all,
I want to simulation the final deformation of a plate after removal of its bottom fixed contraint
I have a solid plate with its bottom fixed to the ground. Its temperature changes from 70 degree to 30 degree, which will cause thermal shrinkage. however, not much deformation(shrinkage) will be generated since its bottom is fixed. Then, I want to remove the plate from the ground. large deformation is expected to be generated since the bottom constraint is removed and the plate will be free to move under the release of its internal stressed generated during the temperature drop process.
I don't know how to use its internal stress generated during the temperature drop process. How to get the final deformation? Can anybody give me some suggestions? Thanks in advance.
