according to you how can I highlight the thermoelastic effect with Abaqus?

thanks in advance
 
You can specify mechanical material properties as funtion of temp.
Apply the predefined temp-field in a *static step in a mechancal model. Use *Temperature
 
The question is too vague. Are you wanting to show the stresses from a thermal load, or the effect of temperature dependent properties? Just saying 'no' to an answer isn't very helpful.

when volume increases----> temperature decreases
when volume decreases-----> temperature increases.
for exemple when we apply a sinusoidal load like x(t)=Asen(omega*t) if the load increases the temperature decreases etc....
 
... maybe you can specify a negative coefficient of thermal expansion to shrink the volume when increasing the temp
