- AMPLITUDE
-
Set this parameter equal to the name of the amplitude curve that defines the
magnitude of the flux during the step (Amplitude Curves).
If this parameter is omitted in an
Abaqus/Standard
analysis, the reference magnitude is applied immediately at the beginning of
the step or linearly over the step, depending on the value assigned to the AMPLITUDE parameter on the
STEP option (see
Defining an Analysis).
If this parameter is omitted in an
Abaqus/Explicit
analysis, the reference magnitude is applied immediately at the beginnning of
the step.
- INC
-
This parameter is relevant only when the FILE parameter is used.
Set this parameter equal to the increment in the selected step of the
previous analysis from which the concentrated nodal fluxes will be read. By
default, the concentrated nodal fluxes will be read from the last increment of
the step specified on the STEP parameter or from the last step if the STEP parameter is omitted.
- OP
-
Set OP=MOD (default) for existing
CFLUXs to remain, with this option modifying existing fluxes or
defining additional fluxes.
Set OP=NEW if all existing
CFLUXs applied to the model should be removed.
-
PHANTOM
-
This parameter applies only to Abaqus/Standard analyses.
Set
PHANTOM=NODE
to apply concentrated fluxes to a phantom node that is originally located coincident
with the specified real node in an enriched element.
Set
PHANTOM=EDGE
to apply concentrated fluxes to a phantom node located on an element edge between the
two specified real corner nodes in an enriched element. This setting applies only to
nodes with both pore pressure and temperature degrees of freedom.
- REGION TYPE
-
This parameter applies only to
Abaqus/Explicit
analyses.
This parameter is relevant only for concentrated fluxes applied on the
boundary of an adaptive mesh domain. If concentrated fluxes are applied to
nodes in the interior of an adaptive mesh domain, these nodes will always
follow the material.
Set REGION TYPE=LAGRANGIAN (default) to apply a concentrated flux to a node that follows
the material (nonadaptive).
Set REGION TYPE=SLIDING to apply a concentrated flux to a node that can slide over the
material. Mesh constraints are typically applied to the node to fix it
spatially.
Set REGION TYPE=EULERIAN to apply a concentrated flux to a node that can move
independently of the material. This option is used only for boundary regions
where the material can flow into or out of the adaptive mesh domain. Mesh
constraints must be used normal to an Eulerian boundary region to allow
material to flow through the region. If no mesh constraints are applied, an
Eulerian boundary region will behave in the same way as a sliding boundary
region.
- STEP
-
This parameter is relevant only when the FILE parameter is used.
Set this parameter equal to the step number of the previous analysis from
which the concentrated nodal fluxes will be read. By default, the concentrated
nodal fluxes will be read from the last step of the previous analysis.
