Optional parameters
-
DELTMX
- Include this parameter to activate automatic time incrementation in a transient
analysis.
Set this parameter equal to the maximum temperature change
allowed in an increment in a transient analysis. Abaqus/Standard restricts the time step to ensure that this value is not exceeded at
any node (except nodes with boundary conditions) during any increment of
the analysis. If the maximum allowable temperature change is not
specified, there is no restriction on the maximum temperature change in
an increment.
-
STEADY STATE
- Include this parameter to choose a steady-state thermal analysis.
Automatic time incrementation is used in this case.
If this parameter is
omitted, transient thermal analysis is assumed.
Data line to define incrementation
- First (and only)
line
-
Initial time increment. If automatic incrementation is used, this value should
be a reasonable suggestion for the initial step and is adjusted
as required. If direct incrementation is used, this value is the
fixed time increment size.
-
Total time period.
Minimum time increment allowed. If Abaqus/Standard finds it needs a smaller time increment than this value, the
analysis ends. If a value is given, Abaqus/Standard uses the minimum of the given value and 0.8 times the initial
time increment. If no value is given, Abaqus/Standard sets the minimum increment equal to the minimum of 0.8 times
the initial time increment (first data item on this data line)
and 10−5 times the total time period (second data
item on this data line). This value is used only for automatic
time incrementation.
-
Maximum time increment allowed. If this
value is not specified, the upper limit is the total step time.
This value is used only for automatic time incrementation.
