I want to delete elements exceeding melting temp during thermal analysis.
It's transient condition, heating and cooling.
Domain is 2D.
Element used is Heat transfer.
Material is Al.
Defined temp dependent properties density, young's mod, poisons ratio, plasticity, conductivity, specific heat, latent temp, solidus temp, liquidus temp.
I am learning subroutines but please suggest simple way.
Thanks in advance.
Deleting or "killing" elements during a transient analysis in Abaqus, such as removing elements that exceed a melting temperature, can be achieved using the subroutine-based approach. Here's a general guide on how you can implement this method:
Remember that this approach doesn't physically remove the elements from the mesh, but it alters their properties so that they no longer contribute to the simulation. This can create numerical challenges in some cases, and careful validation and verification of your model will be important.
This is a high-level overview, and implementing this approach will require some expertise in writing and debugging user subroutines. The Abaqus documentation and various online forums can provide more detailed guidance tailored to your specific application and needs.
