*ANNEAL TEMPERATURE
Specify material properties for modeling annealing or melting.

This option is used to define the annealing temperature of elastic-plastic materials. It must be used in conjunction with the *PLASTIC option.

Optional parameter:

DEPENDENCIES

Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies included in the definition of the annealing temperature. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed that the annealing temperature is a constant. See “Specifying field variable dependence” in “Material data definition,” Section 21.1.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide, for more information.

Data lines to define the annealing temperature: 

First line:

  1. Value of the annealing temperature, .

  2. First field variable.

  3. Etc., up to seven field variables.

Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than seven):

  1. Eighth field variable.

  2. Etc., up to eight field variables per line.

Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the dependence of the material parameter on field variables.
