    Composite column in fire with concrete damaged plasticity

    hello, I hope that you soled your problem. I am working on similar thing,but still stuck in the heat transfer analysis as I don't get enough convergence due to water migration problem in concrete. have you validated your heat transfer results? I noticed that the specific heat you defined for...

    LATENT HEAT IN ABAQUS

    Hello guys, does any one have an idea how Abaqus deals with latent heat and how adds its effect to the heat transfer equation, I searched their manuals and it sounds that there is nothing mentioned about it. I am trying to include the effect of latent heat by two ways: 1-convert the latent heat...

    Heat transfer problem

    Yes, your are absolutely right. but having hard time now matching the meshes of the three parts together with bias mesh. regarding temperature change option, my first setting was 10 and then tried to reduce it to 5 which did not enhance the results either. I think reducing temperature change per...

    Heat transfer problem

    Thanks for your suggestions. And yes I already refined the mesh, the results got much better but still though drop down around 17 to 19 below the initial temperature(20) in the first 400 seconds in my analysis and then go up as it should be. regarding the step time I used linear elements and as...

    Heat transfer problem

    Hi, I am trying to perform a heat transfer analysis on a column consists of three layers. only the middle region is heated and the top and bottom region are the same as at the air temperature. the three layers were tied together and everything should be set right. However, when I perform the...
