7.1 Support for coupled temperature–pore pressure elements in Abaqus/CAE

Product: Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: You can now assign element types from the coupled temperature–pore pressure family of elements to your model in Abaqus/CAE.

Description: Coupled temperature–pore pressure elements are used in Abaqus/Standard for modeling fully or partially saturated fluid flow through a deforming porous medium in which the stress, fluid pore pressure, and temperature fields are fully coupled to one another. The Element Type dialog box in the Mesh module now enables you to assign element types from the coupled temperature–pore pressure family of elements, which includes element types C3D8PT, C3D8PHT, C3D8RPT, C3D8RPHT, and C3D10MPT.
