Hi,

I am fairly new to abaqus and need to set up a Thermal Loaded creep analysis.

The part Temp needs to be raised to 120 deg, held for 60 mins and cooled down to room Temp and checked for permanent set.

I have the following properties for Creep,

*ELASTIC,MODULI=INSTANTANEOUS
10000.,0.4833
*VISCOELASTIC,TIME=PRONY
0.901001,0.0,0.99
*TRS,DEFINITION=WLF
70.,4.92,215.

what else do i need ..?

Please help me with the STEP cards, for this analysis.

I greatly appreciate your help.

best Regards

Nadia

You will want to use the *VISCO command. Check the manuals for details.
