We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi Teng,

From my understanding, it might not be possible to properly determine thermal stresses without employing a thermal solver. The MAT 224 model provides a simplified technique to calculate temperature rise without a full thermal analysis by assuming a portion of plastic work at each element is converted to heat (using the BETA variable). While it alleviates the need for fully coupled thermo-mechanical analysis, it is best suited for modeling deformation at dynamic strain rates where adiabatic or semi-adiabatic condition prevails and an estimate of temperature rise is needed.
