The ADINA-TMC (Thermo-Mechanical Coupling) program is a powerful tool for fully coupled thermo-mechanical analysis of problems in which the thermal solution affects the structural solution and the structural solution in turn affects the thermal solution. ADINA-TMC takes into account such effects...
