<p>Hi,<\/p><p>When material properties are defined as temperature-dependent, the solver utilizes nodal temperatures to ascertain the appropriate material characteristics. If material properties have been specified for different temperature ranges, the solver will reference the nodal temperatures derived from a thermal analysis or stipulated by a thermal condition to determine which set of properties to implement.<\/p><p>In this context, the “Reference Temperature” is utilized for the calculation of thermal strains and does not influence the selection of material properties by the solver. Therefore, to ensure that Mechanical accurately identifies the appropriate property curve, the nodal temperatures in the model must correspond to the temperatures for which the material properties have been defined.<\/p><p>CINT,TYPE,SIFS,Par2 command and auxillary field; I am confused!<\/a><\/p><p>Thanks,<\/p><p>Deepak<\/p><p> <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-396911","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
