Dear all,
I’m trying to implement a temperature dependent material. The reason can be found here.
The young’s modulus and poisson’s ratio for each element is given and I want to define just one material and a lot of temperatures which leads (approximately) to the given poisson ratios/youngs modulus.
I think this can be done quite easy…(at 0 K and 5 K, this makes physically no sense, but just for testing)
*MATERIAL,NAME=T_dependent_mat
*ELASTIC
210000,0.3,0
10000,0.5,5
*INITIAL CONDITIONS,TYPE=TEMPERATURE
Node_set1,0
Node_set2,5
Node_set3,3
…
*SOLID SECTION,MATERIAL=T_dependent_mat,ELSET=Eall
The ratio/modulus at my setting is given element wise, but I just can find the possibility to define the temperature at nodes. Is there a easy way to define a temperature for an element?
Additionally I would like to visualize the resulting youngs modulus in a colormap. I haven’t found a possibility at the documentation to do that. Is there a possibility to get the values of the young’s modulus for each element?
Best regards,
Patrick
