Types of coupled thermal-structural analyses (Abaqus)
In the Abaqus environment, two methods of performing a coupled thermal-structural analysis are available. Use them when the stress analysis depends on the temperature distribution and the temperature distribution depends on the structural solution.
Coupled Thermal-Structural
A Coupled Thermal-Structural analysis neglects inertia effects and can be transient or steady-state.
Dynamic Coupled Thermal-Structural
A Dynamic Coupled Thermal-Structural analysis includes inertia effects and models a transient thermal response.
Note:
The *KINEMATIC COUPLING keyword is not imported in the Abaqus Coupled Thermal-Structural environment.
