How can I transfer analysis results to second analysis in Abaqus?

[Peter1353]

Hi,

I have to check the buckling of a beam in fire. To do this I am following the below stages:

1. Conduct a heat transfer analysis ( transient ) for 30 minutes in fire , to find out the temperature history of the beam. Please not the temperature of the beam is not uniform
2. perform 6 runs of buckle analysis and using temperature dependant material properties in this stage.

I want to set the temperature of the beam (using pre-defined) in buckle analysis to the temperature of the beam in the heat transfer analysis for each 5 minutes( in total 30/5=6 buckle analysis).

I would appreciate it if you could tell me how I can use the temperature of a certain time from heat transfer analysis in the buckle analysis.

Thanks,
Hooman

Look into the *TEMPERATURE keyword in the documentation.
