Weld Simulation in ABAQUS

[donrick]

Hi all,

I am pretty new to ABAQUS and learning from scratch. I am currently trying to model a weld simulation to determine the temperature and stress distribution after cooling. I tried using the heat transfer step to determine the temperature distribution afterwards, but there was no temperature recorded. Could somebody give me a hint on the best way to model the weld and perform the simulation? Thanks.

Dear Donrick!
Please consider to write a DFLOW subroutine in order to define the Goldak double ellipsoid model in you analysis. If you think I would be very happy to help with the formulation, if you still intresting in it. I have not made that subroutine so far, but may be later on...so I am very intrested what you made since your post.
