Generating thermal matrices

Thermal matrix generation:

  • allows for the mathematical abstraction of model data such as mesh and material information by generating global or element matrices representing the thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and load at specific times;

  • writes matrix data to a binary SIM document that can be further processed by Abaqus; and

  • can be used only as part of an uncoupled heat transfer analysis.
