I have a 15 cm × 15 cm plate that was heated using an induction heater. To measure the temperature distribution, I used a thermal camera and recorded temperature values over time at different points on the plate.

The temperature data is stored in CSV files, where:

• T_0.csv contains the temperature at t = 0s

• T_1.csv contains the temperature at t = 1s

• …

• T_10.csv contains the temperature at t = 10s

Each CSV file has 700 rows × 700 columns.

• Each row and column correspond to a specific (x, y) location on the plate.

• Each cell value represents the temperature at that specific point at a given time.

What I Need to Do in Abaqus:

I want to apply this experimental temperature data to a 3D transient heat transfer simulation in Abaqus. The goal is to replicate the measured temperature evolution over time in the simulation.

• How should I apply this temperature data in Abaqus?

• How do I update the temperature field at each time step?

• The temperature distribution is changing over time (from T_0.csv at t=0 to T_10.csv at t=10).

• How can I ensure the simulation updates the temperature correctly for each time step?

• How can I efficiently import and apply these CSV files in Abaqus?
