5. Delete the convection loading on the solid model lines:
Main Menu > Preprocessor > Loads > -Loads- Delete > All Load
Data > All SolidMod Lds … [OK]
Or issue: /PREP7
LSCLEAR,SOLID
6. Change the thermal elements to their corresponding structural ele-
ments:
Main Menu > Preprocessor > Element Type > Switch Elem Type …
Select “Thermal to Struc”, then [OK]. Review the warning message,
then [Close] Or issue: ETCHG,TTS

7. Set the element behavior to axisymmetric:
Main Menu > Preprocessor > Element Type > Add/Edit/Delete
… [Options ...]
Set K3 = Axisymmetric, then [OK] [Close]
Or issue: KEYOPT, 1, 3, 1
8. Apply temperature load from thermal analysis in Workshop 3:
Main Menu > Preprocessor > Loads > -Loads- Apply > Tem-
perature > From Therm Analy . Select the “pipe-th.rth” results file,
then [OK].
Or issue:
LDREAD,TEMP, , , , ,pipe-th,rth
