Mutiple regions in solidDisplacmentFoam

jbvw96 · February 3, 2010, 15:03

Hello,

I am interested in solving a thermal stress problem with multiple solid regions(2 solid materials). I want to know if all of the solvers will support the multiple region methods that chtMultiRegionFoam uses? I have been reviweing the mulitRegionHeater tutorial to get some insight, but I want to know I'm not barking up the wrong tree.

Thank you,
Jonathan

Hello Jonathan,

did you have any success so far? I'm interested in the same thing.

Regards
Lars

Not yet, I found reference to a function called multiMaterial in 1.5. But it does not seem to exist in 1.6. I ended up just having to calculate worst case scenario boundary conditions, not ideal at all.
