I ran a Solid Thermal Coupling Problem. The Model is shown in (Attatchment 1). There is theree solid region of different thermal properties. In Temperature (Attachment 2) and Displacement (Attachment 3) Curve it is running ok. But a discontinuity appears at stess (Attachment 5) or strain curve (Attachment 4).

Can anyone please help me to solve this problem.

Best Regards Mridul

Hi,

This is inherent in the finite element method. The degrees of freedom are continuous. Gradients are only continous within elements, but not over element borders.

Henrik
