*LATENT HEAT
12.1 *LATENT HEAT: Specify latent heats.
This option is used to specify a material’s latent heat.
Products: ABAQUS/Standard ABAQUS/Explicit
Type: Model data
Level: Model
Reference:
•
“Latent heat,” Section 20.2.4 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual
There are no parameters associated with this option.
Data lines to define a material’s latent heat:
First line:
1. Latent heat per unit mass. (Units of JM
−1
.)
2. Solidus temperature.
3. Liquidus temperature.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define phase changes in the material; one line per phase
change. Latent heat values must be given in ascending order of temperature.
