Dynamic coupled thermal-structural analysis (Abaqus)

In the Abaqus environment, a Dynamic Coupled Thermal-Structural analysis with a Coupled Temperature-Displacement solution is available that includes inertia effects and models a transient thermal response. It is an Abaqus Explicit type of analysis.

The options on the Dynamic Coupled Thermal-Stress Step Setup tab correspond to the parameters for the Abaqus *DYNAMIC TEMPERATURE-DISPLACEMENT, EXPLICIT keyword.

Supported elements

For a list of elements supported in a Dynamic Coupled Thermal-Structural analysis with a Coupled Temperature-Displacement solution type, see Abaqus elements.

For more information about using the elements in a Coupled Thermal-Structural analysis, see Managing elements in Coupled Thermal-Structural analyses.

Boundary conditions

You can use boundary conditions to prescribe both temperatures (DOF 11) and displacements/rotations (DOF1 through DOF6) at nodes in a fully coupled thermal-stress analysis. You can specify boundary conditions as functions of time using amplitude fields.

Supported boundary constraints

Loads

The set of load boundary conditions available in the structural-thermal solutions consist of the existing structural loading conditions with the existing thermal load boundary conditions.

Supported loads

Requesting output

In a Dynamic Coupled Thermal-Structural analysis, you can use the Abaqus Thermal-Structural Output Requests to define the output.

Monitor the solution

For a Dynamic Coupled Thermal-Structural analysis, you can monitor the solution selecting both structural degrees of freedom (DOF1 through DOF6) and temperature degree of freedom (DOF11).
