You can also use temperature results from your Autodesk® CFD analysis as the basis for a thermal stress analysis in Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical. After completing your heat transfer analysis in Autodesk® CFD, launch the CAD model in Simulation Mechanical, assign the settings to define the thermal stress analysis, and select the Autodesk® CFD design study file as the temperature source.

You can map pressure results from your Autodesk® CFD analysis to boundary conditions for mechanical stress analyses in Autodesk® Simulation Mechanical. After completing your analysis in Autodesk® CFD, launch the CAD model in Simulation Mechanical, assign the settings to define the stress analysis, and select the Autodesk® CFD design study file as the pressure source.
