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 a lot.
