Dispersion curve for Lamb waves using Abaqus
Dear all
I am trying to plot the dispersion curbve for wave propagation in an ALuminum beam under S0 and A0 lambwave. My simulation has completed and I thin the results are reasonable as long as visualization is concerned.
I am trying to plot dispersion curve for these two waves using Abaqus outputs. As far as I know I need to use Abaqus outputs such as displacement or velocity for calculation of wave speed.
1- How would I calculate wave speed by Abaqus outputs and is this calculated wave speed the phase velocity or group velocity ?

Thermomechanical coupled simulation
Hi all,
I am trying to input a termperature field as initial conditions in
abaqus, to use the temperature distribution from a previous temperature
simulation in an mechanical simulation. But when I check the Temperature
values in the mechanical simulation i get great differences between the
nodal values (NT) and the element values (TEMP).
Does anybody know the reason of this problem?
Can it be related to the element typ? So the TEMP values are the avereged values from NT?
