Hello
There is a cavity with pressure applied. Along with the pressure, I added theremal expansion to see stress caused by theraml expansion as well as pressure. However, whenever I add the themal expansion, my study fails with the following err. Would anyone please help me with this?

But the solid mechanis alone works fine without troubles.

The problem is that your coefficent of thermal expansion is 32.5, which is many orders of magnitude too large. There is no possibility for the geometric nonlinear problem to converge with thermal strains of the order of 10,000,000%.
I think that you intended to enter alpha = 37.5e-5.

Thank you. That makes sense. I made that mistakes. Thank you for cathcing it.
