XI. Clamp the Muffler (soft_clmp_MufflerHook_->_Body_y-z)
The purpose of 
Thermal move is to deform a compliant object (part) due to a temperature change while the part is fully constrained. Specific modeling points are displaced due to their link to mesh nodes on which the temperature change was applied. A Thermal Load file is used to apply the temperature change.
11.1 Select the Thermal icon and choose the ExhaustAsm product as parent part.
11.2 Name the move "Thermal_on_Manifold" with a description of "Apply a change in temperature on Manifold".
11.3 Activate the smoothing check box to use Smoothing.
11.4 Under Object Type select Parts.
11.5 Click the Add Part button and select part Manifold in the Navigation Tree or from the Graph window.
11.6 In the Change in Temperature (oC) field type 600. This number can be later modified.
11.7 Click the Load Thermal File... button and select the dcsFea_abq_Manifold_job2_LOAD1.mtx file.
The completed dialog box should appear as below:
11.8 Click [OK] to close the Thermal move dialog box.
11.9 Repeat steps 11.1 to 11.7 for parts Pipe and Muffler. Apply 400 degrees change onto the Pipe and 100 degrees change onto the Muffler.
11.10 Save the model.
Results:
The nominal values of the measurements after thermal moves are shown below.
