Hello all,

I would like to use moving mesh along with heat transfer in solids and solid mechanics in order to create an exportable geometry that I can then use in another solid mechanics study. In this model specifically, I would like to apply my heat load with my fixed constraints in solid mechanics and then use the moving mesh study to be able to export the subsequently deformed geometry. Once I can export this geometry, I would then like to run it through another solid mechanics study where I bend the model back in to shape if you will. Unfortunately, I keep running in to errors with the moving mesh added in. It can't solve when I ask the prescribed mesh displacements to be u, v, and w for x, y, and z. I've looked up the matter extensively but can't find any solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you. I attached the model with cleared solutions below.
