Solution Step dialog box (Abaqus), Dynamic Coupled Heat Transfer and Stress Setup Step page
| Dynamic Coupled Thermal-Stress Step Parameters | |
|---|---|
| Time Duration of Step | Specifies the total time allowed for the step. |
| Time Incrementation | Controls how Abaqus divides the time within a step in a quasi-static analyses.Global Time EstimateSpecifies automatic time incrementation. Abaqus automatically adjusts the size of the time increments to solve the problem efficiently.Direct User ControlSpecifies a fixed time incrementation. You directly control the time incrementation through the step.Element by ElementSpecifies a variable, automatic time incrementation using the element-by-element stable time increment estimates. Specifying element-by-element time estimator generally requires more increments and more computational time than the Global Time Estimate option. Fixed Time IncrementationSpecifies a fixed time incrementation that Abaqus determines at the beginning of the step using Element by Element option. |
| Maximum Time Increment | Appears when Time Incrementation is set to Global Time Estimate or Element by Element.Specifies the maximum time increment allowed. If you do not specify a value, Abaqus does not impose any upper limit on the time increment. If you specify a value of 0, the default that Abaqus uses depends on the option you select from the Application Type list. |
| Time Increment Size | Appears when Time Incrementation is set to Direct User Control.Specifies the amount of time for each increment. |
| Optional Explicit Dynamic Step Parameters | |
| Activate Improved DT Method | Specifies the method to use to estimate the element stable time increment for 3D continuum elements and elements with plane stress formulations (shell, membrane, and two-dimensional plane stress elements). Select the Activate Improved DT Method check box to use the improved DT method. Clear the Activate Improved DT Method check box to use the conservative method. |
| Time Increment Scale Factor | Appears when Time Incrementation is set to Global Time Estimate, Element by Element, or Fixed Time Incrementation Specifies the factor used to scale the time increment that Abaqus computes. The default is 1.0. |
