Mapping thermal and magnetic loads

The abaqus emloads utility converts results output from a time-harmonic eddy current analysis for use as loads in a subsequent heat transfer, coupled temperature-displacement, or stress/displacement analysis. For example, magnetic body force intensity output is converted to point loads. You specify the names of the time-harmonic eddy current analysis results output database (.odb) file and the input file for the subsequent analysis on the command line. The utility creates an output database file containing a mesh that matches the mesh in your subsequent analysis and steady-state concentrated nodal fields consistent with the time-harmonic eddy current analysis results. Your time-harmonic eddy current and subsequent analysis meshes can be dissimilar, and results transfer ensures global conservation of the flux quantities when your model domains match; i.e., the model boundaries are the same. You can then use this new output database file to apply concentrated loads and concentrated heat fluxes in the subsequent analysis.
