Hello all,
I have attached Axi-symmetric model of ball and disk contact. I want to simulate this model with linearly varying elastic modulus of disk material below the sub surface depth. For this I have partitioned disk in the two regions, where upper region will have linearly decreasing temperature field. In the material definition, I am using elastic modulus dependent on the temperature data. This will ensure linear variation of elastic modulus for linearly decreasing temperature field. The problem is with Predefined Fields section where I am unable to assign linearly decreasing Temperature field. The only option that is available for section variation is constant through the region. I couldn't change this to "Gradient through shell section" option which is defined in Abaqus User's Guide. Can somebody please guide me on how to setup linearly varying temperature as a predefined field in the region of interest for this problem?
In the attached .cae file(zipped), model name is 4500_2mm_case_depth_partition_only.
Any assistance in this matter would be appreciated,
Thank you in advance,
Sincerely,
Nikhil
