Provide material with initial temperature distribution

Provide material with initial temperature distribution

Provide material with initial temperature distribution

(OP)
Good afternoon to everyone

I am developing in ABAQUS 6.9 a material with varying elastic properties. For that, I was thinking in provide a elastic modulus variation by assuming temperature dependent modulus and providing the material with an initial temperature distribution to match the elastic modulus variation desired.

The problem is that I don't know where and how can I provide the material in ABAQUS with an initial temperature distribution.

I´ve already define my material model assuming temperature dependent (or simply as field dependent) but I can't find the way to specify the linear direction in wich the field/temperature/elastic properties must change.

Thanks a lot for your help.

RE: Provide material with initial temperature distribution

Temperature can be applied in the input file using

*temperature
1001, 5
1002, 10
....etc

Alternatively,
*INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=TEMPERATURE
1001, 5
1002, 10
....etc

This applies a temperature of 5 to node number 1001 and 10 to 1002, thus your temperature dependent properties should adjust accordingly. You need to specify for every node, excel can be useful if you have a lot of nodes. You can also apply these temperature using an ampliture card so they change during a step however you want them to.

I'm not sure how to do this in CAE, but believe it's in the load module. Hope this helps.

Cheers

Tom
