    Changing Material Type by Element

    I need to modify an already existing model, specifically changing the material type of multiple parts. I am wondering if it is possible to change the material type by element. I know how to edit the section assignment for an individual part. But I am curious to see if it possible to change...

    HETVAL subroutine: FLUX(2)

    Okay, thanks! Currently I have: FLUX(1)=(cp*density*(tref-REAL(TEMP(1))))/DTIME/10 FLUX(2)=0.0 It seems to be working just fine. Do you think FLUX(2) is okay being equal to zero in my case?

    HETVAL subroutine: FLUX(2)

    Thank you very much! That does help. I had FLUX(2)=1.0 and it seemed to work just fine. I was just a little worried having it equal a constant if it is supposed to be a rate of change. Do you know how to determine if I am using Abaqus standard or Explicit?

    convergence issue using HETVAL

    I am simulating the heat transfer for an underground warehouse using 3 different target temperatures. I am using the HETVAL subroutine to account for the internal heat generation for each target temperature. It works just fine for temperatures above 0 degrees Celsius. However, for negative...
