Simulation of cooling in a material

[nickv7]

Hi,

I want to simulate cooling in a model in ABAQUS. I want to simulate in such a way that the temperature is changing from 30C to -60C, and due that the change in temperature there will the stresses build up in my model. Can this be done in ABAQUS?

Sure. You even don't need a thermal analysis when the temperature change is homogeneous for the body.

Thanks. I am new to abaqus. Any link or help to get started will be appreciated.

In the Abaqus Documentation are two Getting Started Manuals.
One works directly with the input file and the other one is using A/CAE for model building.
