    use *distribution to define spatial variation of expansion coefficient

    Now I try to use *distribution to define the spatial variation(in two directions) of expansion coefficient. But in ABAQUS, *distribution can only be defined on the nodes or elements. There is thousands of elements in my model. It is tedious to define such huge amount of elements in the model...

    How to define the expansion coefficient variation in 2D direction.

    Hi Folks, I have a question about how to input the expansion coefficient into the ABAQUS model.It is orthotropic material, located in the cylindrical coordinate system. it has different expansion coefficient in Radial and Longitudinal direction. How to input this data in to ABAQUS model? Thanks...

    How to define the material propertes in axial symmetry

    Hi I want to define a half cylindrical shell with a symmetric with respect to the central axis. At each point in the shell wall, it has a local orthogonal coordinate system. it has different properties in longitudinal, radial and tangential directions. How can I define this in ABAQUS? Thanks...
