Hi guys thanks for your input.
Re Mustaine3
I have tried using the UEXPAN code to solve my problem.
The code works fine and outputs the correct thermal strains.
The thermal strain buildup is in line with the answer given from inputting the data through CAE.
The problem with thermal stress is...
Hi Shufen
Thank you for your suggestion.
I became quite frustrated with the problem and decided to park it for a while.
I will be following up with it in the coming weeks (hopefully).
I will update once I have made some progress.
Thanks

Hi Mustaine3,
Thanks for your response.
Your suggestion to use UEXPAN seems like a good solution.
I would like to clarify my problem before I proceed.
Can you confirm that Abaqus is using the total thermal strain and that this is incorrect when temperature dependent material properties are...
Hello
I am using Abaqus to give an insight into a problem with temperature dependent properties.
When I try to validate my models against closed form solutions the results are incorrect.
Model details
In order to investigate the issue I have created a much simplified single element model with...
