Transient thermo-mechanical modeling

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am trying to use temperature dependent material properties, specifically flow stress, as a variable for heat flux into a surface, such that the flux is proportional to the flow stress? I also require that displacements be calculated, not just temperature fields. Is this possible with COMSOL 3.5a? So far, the answer looks to be, "no".

I realize that this would require a full-coupling of the thermal and structural modules, which the user manual explicitly states is not possible (only one-way by way of thermal strain).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think that I included all necessary information, but I can fill any holes.
