If we have a problem with 2 different types of loading, such as structural stress and thermal stress, when modeled in software, we should couple thermal and structural analysis to solve problem. How can I do it in PATRAN?

Dear Kazam
The approach is simple... All the softwares have options like "Seuqentially Coupled" or "fully coupled". In sequentially coupled approach one reads the output of thermal analysis, that are nothing but nodal temperatures and analyses stress and displacements and are followed by mechanical loads.
Kind Regards
Ramanan
