Hi!
I am studing cracking in concrete structures due to thermal and drying shrinkage.
In order to model thermal shrinkage in concrete I use nodal temperatures from a heat transfer analysis as inputs for the mechanical analysis. In case of drying shrinkage I use a t-DT (time-temperature drop) curve as inputs for the mechanical analysis.
I have a problem trying to combine both effects, thermal and drying shrinkage, in the same analysis, because ABAQUS does not allow to use a predefined files defined direcly (t-DT curve) and one defined from an .odb file (nodal temperatures) in the same step.
Is it possible to edit the temperatures .odb file to add a temperature value to each step frame?
Dear Amir Shirkhani,
Thank for your answer.
I have tried odbcombine command. It is usefull just for restart analysis, but not when you have two completed odb files to combine.
