Hi everyone

First of all sorry for my English (I'm not native ;) )

I'm currently working on a project for my school where I have to observe thermal expansion on a kind of cylinder of steel.

To do that I'd like to make a model with Abaqus but after a few attempts it doesn't work and that's why i'm here.

I have modeled my part in Abaqus, but a don't know how I can "artificially" increase the temperature of the whole part.

If you have some tutorial / video / advices on this kind of project it could help me.

PS : I hope it's understable (if not or if you need more details on my project just tell me ;) )

Have a nice day ;)
