*INELASTIC HEAT FRACTION

9.16 *INELASTIC HEATFRACTION: Deﬁne the fraction of the rate of inelastic dissipation

that appears as a heat source.

This option is used to provide for inelastic energy dissipation to act as a heat source in adiabatic

thermo-mechanical problems. It is relevant when the ADIABATICparameter is included on the *DYNAMIC

or the *STATICoption. It is als or elevant when a fully coupled thermal-stress analysis is conducted using the

*COUPLED TEMPERATURE-DISPLACEMENT or *DYNAMIC TEMPERATURE-DISPLACEMENT

options.
