Products: Abaqus/Explicit Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: The Eulerian element library now includes the new thermally coupled EC3D8RT element. This element extends the Eulerian capability to coupled thermal-mechanical problems in which the heat transfer equation is also solved as part of the solution.
Description: The thermally coupled Eulerian element is provided in Abaqus/Explicit for modeling fully coupled thermal-stress Eulerian analyses. The new element supports all of the thermal loads and boundary conditions available for the existing Lagrangian thermally coupled elements (thermal contact interaction is not supported).
