TEMPERATURE
ESTEP
Set this parameter equal to the step num ber (of the analysis whose results or output database file
is being used as input to this option) that ends the hist ory data to be read. If no value is supplied,
ESTEP is taken as equal to BSTEP.
EINC
Set this parameter equal to the increment number (of the analysis whose results or output database
file is being used as input to this option) that ends the history data to be read. If no value is supplied,
EINC is taken as the last available increment of step ESTEP on the file read.
BTRAMP
Set this parameter equal to the starting time (measured relative to the total step time period) after
which the temperatures read from the results file will be ramped to their initial condition values.
The default value is
, in which case no temperature ramping takes place. This feature is used to
create a cyclic temperature history from a prior heat transfer analysis that is not cyclic.
INTERPOLATE
Include this parameter to indicate that the temperature field needs to be interpolated between
dissimilar meshes. This feature is used to read temperatures from an output database file
generated during a heat transfer analysis or genera ted during a global model analysis used with
the subm odeling capability. This parameter and the MIDSIDE parameter are m utually exclusive.
If the heat transfer analysis uses first-order elements and the current mesh is the same but uses
second-order elements, use the MIDSIDE parameter instead.
MIDSIDE
Include this parameter to indicate that midside node temperatures in second-order elements are to be
interpolated from corner node temperatures. This feature is used to read temperatures from a results
or an output database file generated during a heat transfer analysis using first-order elements. This
parameter and the INTERPOLATE parameter are mutually exclusive.
Required parameter for defining data in user subroutine UTEMP:
USER
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analyses.
Include this parameter to indicate that user subroutine UTEMP will be used to define
temperature values. UTEMP will be called for each node given on the data lines.
If values are also given on the data lines, these values will be ignored. If a results or an output
database file has been specified in addition to user subroutine UTEMP, values read from this file will
be passed into UTEMP for possible modification.
