Subroutine DFLUX in ABAQUS

Frank Richter's picture

Dear Mechanicians,

time and again the question of modeling moving heat sources pops up, often in the context of laser heating.

One can achieve this using the subroutine DFLUX in ABAQUS.

I decided to post some links here to avoid responding with a longer explanation to every individual seeking assistance.

Please note that I have never worked with any one of these codes and have no access to ABAQUS at present.

No warranty is given by me.

"ELEMENT DELETION" is available in Abaqus Explicit:
User's Manual 23.8.1 User-defined mechanical material behavior

For welding you can also use the Abaqus Welding Interface

For an introduction to subroutine coding get the file
http://imechanica.org/files/Writing User Subroutines with ABAQUS.pdf

For any ABAQUS-related question: seek advice from the Abaqus mailing list
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Abaqus/info
This is a moderated list. Search the archive of this mailing list for the terms "laser", "welding" and "(moving) heat source" in combination with "DFLUX". It has been discussed several times. Two of the links below are taken from the archive of that list.

Try to verify your model with analytical solutions provided in these books:
Carslaw and Jaeger: "Conduction of Heat in Solids"
Duley, Walter W.: "Laser processing and analysis of materials"

Good luck

Frank
