Abaqus, Heat transfer, shell elements

Abaqus, Heat transfer, shell elements

Abaqus, Heat transfer, shell elements

(OP)
Hello guys,

I am using Abaqus to simulate “Heat Transfer” in a three-dimensional media. I have meshed the media using tetrahedral elements, then the shell elements have been incorporated as an interface between tetrahedral elements.

The outputs, heat flux vectors HFL, for the shell elements are in the local coordinate system (1-2 in the surface of the shell). I was wondering if there is a way to get these outputs in the global coordinate system.

Many thanks

RE: Abaqus, Heat transfer, shell elements

If the shell elements are somehow at an interface between solid elements then the heat flux at the shell element will be the same as at the tet surface.
