Abaqus thermal analysis

[bikramjit Deb]

I am trying to perform thermal analysis of dam using abaqus but i am not able to input the adiabatic heat rise in my Finite element model further for fully coupled model is there different type of element required, What should be the boundary condition, and will the input ambient temperature and adiabatic temperature rise combine o provide resultant temperature, also can i monitor crack development? Is there any tutorial video available?

You can change the type of elements in the Mesh module using Assign Element Type button.

I don’t think you will find YouTube tutorials for this particular topic but there are some scientific articles that might be useful for you. For example:
- "Thermal Assessment of Karun-1 Dam" by M. Labibzadeh et al.
- "Seasonal Thermal Cracking of Concrete Dams in Northern Regions" by D.D. Maken et al.
