I want to know whether the elastic stress and rapid shrinkage model (in solidification) can work at the same time?

Thank you!

No, they can't.

If I want to apply the elastic stress molde during the solidification, what should I do ? How do I set the simulation?

Thank you very much!

Your best reference in the example problem for the thermal stress model provided as part of the installation. It is located in the folder Examples/thrmstrs. In that example, an aluminum part is cooling in air outside the die. It has all the setup elements, except it start at the part already solid. You just need to change the initial temperature to make it liquid.
