    Thermal expansion coefficient from data sheets

    Hi everybody I received a data sheet of a plastic material, with the following thermal expansion values 60E-06 1/K from -30° to 30° 100E-06 1/K from 23° to 80° I assume, that the reference temperature for these data sheets values is always 23°. How should I use these values in Abaqus? Some...

    where lies the shell?

    hi to everybody. This is my first post. Question: a cylinder, 5in inner diameter, 0.1in thick. I want to mesh it with a shell. How should I model the cylinder? A cylindrical surface 5in diameter, or a cylindrical surface 5+2*0.1= 5.2in diameter? How chooses the program in which direction grows...
