Hello, I am trying to model a plane tension frame, which is subjected to a distributed load and also has a coefficient of thermal expansion, with a temperature change of 30°C. I would like to know how I can incorporate both into the analysis

I tried to put it as two loading conditions, one as dead load for the distributed load and one as loading temperature and when presenting the results, it takes them individually, I would like to see the effect of both on the structure. Thank u

Assuming loads have been defined as LC 1 & 2, run ASE via text input:

+Prog Ase
Lc No 1
Lc No 2

Lc No 3 Titl ‘Combined’
Lcc No 1
Lcc No 2

End
