Problem statement

Geometry
Uniform bar fully restrained axially: E=200000 MPa, alpha=12e-6 1/K, DeltaT=100 K.
Material
Constitutive or analytical definition: sigma=-E alpha DeltaT.
Boundary conditions
Required solver capability: thermal_strain. Use the loading/path control stated in the setup and preserve the complete response history.
Measured quantity
Axial stress=-240 MPa and total axial strain=0.
