*TEMPERATURE

2. Reference temperature value. If the AMPLITUDE parameter is present, this value and

subsequent temperature values willbe m odiﬁedby the AMPLITUDE speciﬁcation.

3. Temperature gradient in the -direction for beams or temperature gradient through the

thickness for shells.

4. Temperaturegradient in the -direction for beams.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to deﬁne temperatures atdifferent nodes or node sets.

Data lines to deﬁne temperatures at temperature points in beams and shells:

First line:

1. Nodeset or node number.

2. Temperatureat the ﬁrst temperaturepoint. Ifthe AMPLITUDE parameter is present, this value

and subsequent temperature values willbe m odiﬁedby the AMPLITUDE speciﬁcation.

3. Temperatureof the second temperature point.

4. Temperatureof the th ird temperature point.

5. Etc.,up to seven temperatures.

Subsequent lines (only needed if there are more than seventemperature points in the element):

1. Temperatureof the ei ghth temperature point.

2. Etc.,up to eight temperatures per line.

If more than seven temperature values are needed at any node, continue on the next line. It may

be necessary to leave blank data lines for some nodes if any other node in the m odel has more than

seven temperature points because the total number of temperatures thatA BAQUS expectsto read

for any node is based on the maximum number of temperatu re values of all the nodes in the model.

These trailing initial valueswill be zero and will not be used in the analysis.

Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to deﬁne temperatures at differentnodes or node sets.

Data lines to deﬁne temperatures for solidor frame elements using the data line format:

First line:

1. Nodeset or node number.

2. Temperature. If the AMPLITUDE parameter is present, this value will be modiﬁed by the

AMPLITUDE speciﬁcation.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to prescribe temperature at different nodes or node sets.

Toread temperatures from an ABAQUS results or output database ﬁle:

No data lines are used when temperature data areread from a results or an output database ﬁle.
