Ignoring bodies in analysis

[abasak123]

Hello,
I would like to do a thermal conduction analysis followed by a stress analysis to calculate the thermal stress. For the thermal analysis part i am modelling conduction in two bodies, however for the stress analysis part i wish to analyse only one of the bodies, as if the other does not exist. Of course the temperature load feild will come from the full thermal analysis. Is this possible to do in Elmer?

Yes in the body definition you can specify the equation for each body.

Body 1
Target Bodies(1) = 1
Name = "Body 1"
Equation = 1
Material = 1
End

Body 2
Target Bodies(1) = 2
Name = "Body 2"
Equation = 2
Material = 2
End

!And each equation can define which solvers it is using

Equation 1
Name = "Equation 1"
Active Solvers(1) = 1
End

Equation 2
Name = "Equation 2"
Active Solvers(1) = 2
End
