TEMPERATURE
apply. Rather, the AMPLITUDE parameter given on the
*
STEP option governs the behavior
in an ABAQUS/Standard analysis, and the temperatures are always ram ped back to their initial
conditions in ABAQUS/Explicit analyses. If tem peratures are being reset to new values (not to
initial conditions) via OP=NEW, the AMPLIT UDE parameter described above applies.
Required parameter for reading temperatures from the results or output database file:
FILE
Set this parameter equal to the name of the results or output databas e file from which the data are
read. The file extension is optional; however, if both .fil and .odb files exist, the res ults file will
be used if the INTERPOLATE parameter is omitted. If the INTERPOLATE parameter is used, an
output database file must exist. See “Input syntax rules,” Section 1.2.1 of the ABAQUS Analysis
User’s Manual, for the syntax of such file nam es. This parameter cannot be used in a
*
STATIC,
RIKS analysis step.
Optional parameters for reading temperatures from the results or output database file:
ABSOLUTE EXTERIOR TOLERANCE
This parameter is relevant only for use with the INTERPOLATEparameter. Set this parameter equal
to the abs olute value (given in the units used in the model) by which nodes of the current model ma y
lie outside the region of the model in the output database specified by the FILE parameter. If this
parameter is not used or has a value of 0.0, the EXTERIOR TOLERANCE para meter will apply.
EXTERIOR TOLERANCE
This parameter is relevant only for use with the INTERPOLATEparameter. Set this parameter equal
to the fraction of the average element size by w hich nodes of the current m odel may lie outside the
region of the elements of the model in the output database specified by the FILE parameter. The
default value is 0.05.
If both tolerance parameters are specified, ABAQUS uses the tighter tolerance.
BSTEP
Set this parameter equal to the step number (of the analysis whose results or output database file is
being used as input to this option) that begins the history data to be read. If no value is supplied,
ABAQUS will begin reading temperature data from the first step available on the file read.
BINC
Set this parameter equal to the increment number (of the analysis whose results or output database
file is being used as input to thisoption) that begins the history data to be read. If nova lueis supplied,
ABAQUS will begin reading temperature data from the first increment available (excluding any
zero increm ents if the results file was written in ABAQUS/Standard using
*
FILE FORMAT, ZERO
INCREMENT) for step BSTEP on the results or output database fil e.
