This option is used to specify a material’sspecific heat.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: Model data

•“Specific heat,” Section 20.2.3 ofthe ABAQUS Analysis User ’sManual
Optional parameter:
DEPENDENCIES
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variables included in the definition of specific
heat. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed that the specific heat is constant or depends
only on temperature. See “Specifying field variable dependence” in “Material data definition,”
Section 16.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual, form ore information.
Data lines to specify a material’sspecific heat:
First line:
1. Specific heat per unit mass. (Units of JM−1 −1 .)
2. Temperature.
3. Firstfield variable.
4. Second field variable.
5. Etc., up to six field variables.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameterhas a value greater than six):
1. Seventhfield variable.
2. Etc.,up to eight field variables per line.
Repeat thisset of data lines as often as necessary to define thespecific heat as a function of temperature
and other predefined field variables.
