7.9 Viscous dissipation in a coupled analysis

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Benefits: This feature can be helpful in predicting the temperature changes in a structure due to viscous dissipation.

Description: When time-domain viscoelasticity is specified as part of a hyperelastic material definition, Abaqus allows conversion of some or all of the viscoelastic dissipation into heat input during a fully coupled temperature-displacement analysis.
