A heat rod with constant conductivity is placed on each side of a heat rod whose conductivity is a function of predefined field variables. These field variables are varied linearly over the course of the four increments of the analysis. Model:Element 1: length = 1.0, area = 3.0, conductivity = 150.0 Element 2: length = 2.0, area = 3.0, conductivity = field-variable-dependent (see below) Element 3: length = 3.0, area = 3.0, conductivity = 150.0 In Abaqus/Standard steady-state simulations are performed using both coupled temperature-displacement elements and pure heat transfer elements to model the rods. In Abaqus/Explicit CPE4RT elements are used to model the heat rods (unit width is assumed for each heat rod), and a transient analysis is performed. The total simulation time is 1.40 × 106. This provides enough time for the transient solution to reach steady-state conditions in this problem. Boundary conditions:=1000.0, =0.0 Results and discussionThe temperatures on each end of the rod (nodes 2 and 3) are reported below. These temperatures match the exact results.
