Hi all

I have a 2D model containing 2 2-D blocks rubbing on each other, producing heat at the interface. (Coupled temperature-displacement analysis in ABAQUS 6.8-1). This works fine, as the temperature on the contact surfaces in increasing.

Now, I want to get the instantaneous the heat flux per unit area due to frictional dissipation as a field output. Is there any standard subroutine or any other way to achieve that? There is no such a variable included in the standard ones.

Thanks!

Hi all!!

I am trying to use subroutine VUINTER in ABAQUS to extract the SFDR surface based interaction variable (Heat flux per unit area entering the surface due to frictional dissipation).

If i assume that the subroutine code I have written is correct, how can I request from the software to include SFDR in the field output variables? I am trying to add manually from the field output request dialog but i get a warning message that this is invalid.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you

Andreas
