*LATENT HEAT

12.1 *LATENT HEAT: Specify latent heats.

This option is used to specify a material’slatent heat.

Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit

Type: Model data

Level: Model

Reference:

•“Latent heat,” Section 20.2.4 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual

There are no parameters associated with this option.

Data lines to deﬁne a material’s latentheat:

First line:

1. Latent heat per unit mass. (Units of JM−1 .)

2. Solidus temperature.

3. Liquidustemperature.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to deﬁne phase changes in the material; one lineper phase

change. Latent heat values must be given in ascending order of temperature.
