Unidirectional coupling of a time dependent study to a stationary study

Hello,

I am using structural mechanics module and a stationary study to calculate stresses and strains in a simple 2D axi-symmetrical model. The model has a thermal expansion node.

I have another study step, which is a time-dependent one. This step has a heat transfer module and I am calculating the temperature distribution in the domains for the times from 0 to 24 hours.

I am trying to couple the temperatures calculated in the time-dependent study to the thermal expansion node in my stationary analysis. I can do this for only a certain time, using the 'Values of variables not solved for' option under the 'Values of dependent variables' section in the Study settings.

Instead, I want to be able to use a continuation parameter in the stationary analysis and in each sweep, I would like to get the temperatures at a certain time, say starting from 0 to 1h, 2h... (25 steps).

I hope I could state the problem clearly. Is this possible? I'd appreciate it if anyone could guide me.

Thanks,
