Hello,
I’m new to CalculiX, and I was wondering if it’s possible to specify an orthotropic thermal expansion coefficient value. If anyone has an example illustrating this, it would be helpful.
Regards,

Yes, you can do it this way:
*EXPANSION, TYPE=ORTHO
α1, α2, α3
Hii @Calc_em, I was trying to run inp file (here attaching that file) but after running calculix not getting any result ,not able to figure out what’s the issue can you help in this?

Why is it defined twice ?
