In a part of my model, temperature field is varying with the space coordinates.I want to calculate thermal stresses .So I wrote UTEMP subroutine in abaqus standard to calculate the thermal stresses.The stresses computed is reaching the failure stress of the material locally.My material is brittle material.So I want to use brittle cracking material model in property module to calculate damage,But it is available only in abaqus explicit. how can I create the temperature field?. My analysis static stress analysis only
Hi. I believe you should be able to do an uncoupled thermal mechanical analysis where in the first one you would do the thermal stuff then in the second one you read the temperature results from the first analysis (either in ODB file or else if needed) and run your damage model analysis. Regards.
