How to define '*Boundary' for a S8RT element? I would like to tell ABAQUS to analysis the model under temperature=500 degree (which I have my reduced value of E, in the material properties for range of temperature), it doesn't work when I use '*temperature'. It said I should use '*Boundary' to define the temperature, how could i do that? please advice.
