The finite element model will consist of 2-dimensional elements with 1- dimensional elements applied at various edges of the geometry. The 1-dimensional elements will represent stiffeners for the structure.

Create the mesh seeds for the model. 4. IsoMesh the model using Quad4 topology. 5. Check the free edges, equivalence the model, and then check the free edges again. 6. Create a new group called FEM that contains only the finite elemental model. Then post only the FEM group. 7. Create two material properties, alum_1 and alum_2. 8. Create two fields, one for temperature and the other for thickness. 9. Create element properties. 10. Create a temperature boundary condition. 11.
