Introduction to Thermal and Creep subroutines in Abaqus

This online course offers an in-depth exploration of thermal and creep subroutines in Abaqus, designed to help participants extend the software’s built-in capabilities for advanced thermo mechanical simulations. Through detailed instruction and hands-on demonstrations, learners will gain the knowledge required to define, implement, and apply user subroutines that accurately represent complex material and thermal behaviors under various loading and boundary conditions.

The course begins with an overview of the theoretical foundations of heat transfer and creep phenomena, followed by the practical implementation of user subroutines such as FILM, UTEMP, DFLUX, HETVAL, and CREEP. Participants will learn how to define field-dependent convective heat transfer coefficients, apply transient and steady-state temperature distributions, model internal heat generation, and incorporate creep rate formulations for time-dependent deformation.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to develop and validate customized thermal and creep models that improve the accuracy and predictive capability of Abaqus simulations. This course is particularly valuable for engineers, researchers, and students who aim to deepen their understanding of thermo-mechanical behavior and leverage user subroutines to solve complex engineering problems in the fields of aerospace, automotive, energy, and materials engineering. check out Subroutine programming Online course!
