coupled diffusion and creeping UMAT ABAQUS

Thermal-displacement coupled analysis UMAT

Submitted by Xinyi Liu on

Dear all,

I am doing a sequentially coupled thermal-displacement analysis. an ODB file is used as prefiled to define thermal load and then a UMAT is used.



My question is how to generate DSTRAN with TEMP (coefficient of expansion is known)

My code is the following, but i think it does not work.



DO K1=1,NTENS

DSTRAN(K1)=(TEMP-LASTEMP)*0.00108

END DO



LASTEMP is temperature of last step.

0.00108 is coefficient of thermal expansion
