Temperature rise due to plastic strain energy

Temperature rise due to plastic strain energy

Temperature rise due to plastic strain energy

(OP)
Hi,
I'm trying to run a push-over analysis on a cylinder made of pure lead. Since elasticity and plasticity of lead are temperature dependent I need the model to calculated the temperature rise due dissipated energy to updated elasticity at each increment.   
  
1) it is fixed on one end and a sinusoidal lateral displacement of .4m amplitude is applied to the other end.
2) Elasticity/plasticity/density/thermal conductivity/specific heat is defined for lead.
3) Step: General Statics, Energy and Temp are selected at Field Output and History Request

Problems:
1)It gives me dissipated energy but no Temp
2)Boundary condition does not give the option to set initial temperature

Am I doing right after all?
How can I get the Temp to work?

Any help will be appreciated.

I forgot to mention that I'm using Abaqus
