*INELASTIC HEAT FRACTION
9.16 *INELASTIC HEAT FRACTION: 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 ADIABATIC parameter is included on the *DYNAMIC
or the *STATIC option. It is also relevant when a fully coupled thermal-stress analysis is conducted using the
*COUPLED TEMPERATURE-DISPLACEMENT or *DYNAMIC TEMPERATURE-DISPLACEMENT
options.

Data line to define the inelastic heat fraction:
First (and only) line:
1. Fraction of inelastic dissipation rate that appears as a heat flux per unit volume. The fraction
may include a unit conversion factor if required. The default value is 0.9.
